Here are some colorful coal trains in the Powder River Basin, when BN was running the show. The variety of locomotives, Run 8 sound and smoke really made for some spectacular railroading!

Very nice footage -- early 90s, I'm guessing?

What's REALLY amazing is the 2nd train in the video is coal bound for the Ameren Coal Fired Electric Plant at Labadie, MO. just outside St. Louis AND THEY STILL RUN THESE TRAINS from BNSF and UP. Can yoiu IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF COAL that this one plant has burned over at least 40 some odd years??
