BNSF 9612, and EMD SD70MAC in Grinstein livery leads the Lamy Local through Bernalillo, NM on January 14, 2017.
 
Good video. That is big power for a local. Do any BNSF freights besides the Lamy Local use this line? Do any BNSF freights pass over Raton Pass or is it only used by Amtrak since the York Canyon coal mine shut down?

That 4K video really shows up well when viewed on full screen.
 
Thanks, Bill!
It was a lot of power for that local run. It's usually handled by a couple old GP-39's. There aren't any other freights that use this line anymore aside from some local stuff like this. Amtrak and the New Mexico Railrunner use it up to CP Madrid and then it's just Amtrak.
 
I am looking forward to more videos. You know what January is like up here in the Puget Sound region. The daily rain, gloom, and doom are not conducive to railroad photography.
 
Oh, don't I know. I remember many days standing in the rain with an umbrella shielding myself and my tripod when I lived up there. The rain didn't bother me much, but the wind really made it difficult.
