Here you’ll find a collection of videos from over a decade "2008+" of railfanning from mostly western America. Currently I’m a Class 1 Locomotive Engineer with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. I am qualified on two mountain grade territories, (Cajon Pass and Tehachapi Loop). I’ve run just about everything from 20,000 ton coal loads, to 3 mile long stacktrains, to the hottest Z's. If I’m not filming them, Im running them. Living the dream!

Buenas Dias. Soy Laura del equipo de producción de Codigo10. Me gustaría poder utilizar el video que encontramos en este link, para el próximo programa que es el Martes 26/03. Por supuesto mencionando la fuente de la que proviene. gracias
I designed those cars in 2000. The intended use was on NS import slab move from a Delaware River port to Duferco in Farrell, PA. NS loved the cars. Customer didn't bite on the deal despite NS naming a screamer of a rate. I suggested to Johnstown America they show BNSF the design for the Long Beach to Fontana move. They bought the cars. Given the low tare weight of the cars, they can carry 5 slabs vs 4 in a gondola. Cars can be loaded with a fork lift and discharged with tongs that can lift 2 slabs at a time. In the PA move on NS, they could have moved the same annual volume of 1.2M MT of slab with 40 fewer trains using these slab cars since each car hauled that extra slab.
97? I counted 97 on this train. I see them all the time on flatbed trucks around York PA. They are coming from a BAE local plant (in York anyway). Clearly these are in California.
