Model Train Operations Session with BNSF, UP, ATSF, D&RGW, SP & BN Trains

Model train operations session on my HO scale model train layout which is based on Colorado’s Joint Line. Multiple trains from Burlington Northern & Santa Fe and Union Pacific can be seen operating over the my Joint Line layout. Some engines are still painted in their predecessor Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific, and Denver & Rio Grande Western paint schemes as well as those of BNSF and Union Pacific. The layout is being built to replicate the Joint Line in the early to mid 1990s. This ops session is set in the early 2000s.

    Fantastic video!!!!! I'm not just saying this, but this could possibly be the best model train video I've seen. The scenery is top notch, and the action was great. I love BNSF, and your layout is just great. Thanks for sharing, and I'd love to see more!

    Maybe this is a dumb question since I haven't started buying anything, yet, but looking at it with an electrical knowledge background; Power to feed the motors in your locomotives comes from the track, right?
    So, how can you have two locos sitting next to each other, on the same track, and only move one?
    Also, how many controllers do you have? (unrelated, sort of) [that's what they call the knob-turny thing, right?]

    You talked about some engines being renumbered, now when that happens to you renumber your engines or do you purchase the newly numbered engines?

    Love your layout especially the bn I used to have bn locos running down a branchline in Pensacola back in the 90s. How do you uncouple your equipment

    I have a BN GP 40-2 3062 not 3061

    You should do a cab ride on your layout
