We lead off with Amtrak 3 being led by AMTK 3 as it passes through Bernalillo, NM.
After a tragic derailment near Kingman, AZ, Amtrak 3 became Amtrak 4 in Flagstaff, AZ. Passengers were bused in from California and Kingman. Unfortunately, the train was still pointing west so BNSF 5836 was...
How do train crews get time to eat when on duty? Are they allowed to go to the nearest fast food joint by the tracks if time allows? I recently heard a UP freight in a siding waiting for MoW to clear up and they asked if they had time to get food.
Thanks for your input!

On March 13, 2018, I saw Amtrak 4 come and go on the Flagstaff webcam and it was on time and had a normal consist. Between Winslow and Gallup it lost about an hour and 40 minutes which was very unusual so I listened on the scanner as it was arriving in NMRX territory to see if there was a clue...
Gallup, New Mexico, is the largest city along the BNSF Gallup Subdivision between Flagstaff, Arizona, and Albuquerque. Approximately 21,000 people call Gallup home, and it is predominantly made up Native Americans from the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni tribes.
The city was founded in 1881 as a...

Sometimes the moon and stars align perfectly. On November 19, 2017, with a heads up from Southwest Railroad Photography, we heard there were Siemens Chargers on Amtrak 4 out of California. There was some hope that they would remain on 4 and go to Chicago, but after monitoring the scanner, it...
The BNSF Southern Transcon is a railroad corridor between Southern California and Chicago, Illinois. Completed in its current alignment in 1908 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, when it opened the Belen Cutoff in New Mexico and bypassed the steep grades of Raton Pass, it now serves...
On most Sundays, a local freight leaves Albuquerque, NM and makes a stop at the General Mills plant on the north end of town. After exchanging a few hopper cars, the train takes tanks cars of asphalt to Rosario, NM and then returns several hours later with empties. This train is...
Due to mechanical problems, BNSF 6336 is leading the eastbound Southwest Chief on July 14, 2017.
Coming through Bernalillo, NM at a very busy commuter time, train 4 is delayed even further waiting for the New Mexico Railrunner rush to be over.
After 4 passes, we catch two Siemens Charger...
On a beautiful May morning, BNSF 4424, a GE C44-9W built in 1999, shunts grain cars into the Louis Dreyfus Grain Terminal in Seattle. A friendly wave by the engineer is always appreciated!
Soon after, Amtrak 513, the Cascades, diverges onto main 1 and passes BNSF 5993 waiting for the green at...
