This video takes us into the heart of Wyoming's Powder River Basin, the largest coal-producing region in the United States and home to the four-track BNSF Orin Subdivision. Every day, dozens of coal trains utilize this trackage to access one of the many mines in the area, making for an almost endless stream of rail traffic. The long straightaways and limited vegetation mean that there is rarely a time of the day when a train isn't in sight. This video will specifically focus on the famous Logan Hill, where fresh 18,000-ton loaded BNSF & UP coal trains roll by at full throttle to get up the 1% grade. The heavy trains and high-horsepower action combined with the beautiful Wyoming landscape make for one of the coolest places to watch trains in the country.

We have motorways shorter than that train! 🇬🇧👍🏻
Coal is still an issue in the US? Are there any efforts of getting out of it?

Now retired...our power plant received 12 to 15 of these trains a week. Average 100 to 125 cars long. They're incredible.
It makes WARREN & HOWARD BUFFET,,, REALLY, REALLY,, HAPPY.🤗🤗🧐💰💰💰💯👍🇺🇸
That track must see an insane amount of freight on a monthly basis
I worked at one of the open pit coal mines near Gillette . Driving the giant WABCO diesel-electric trucks was quite an experience. Watching the BN trains loading coal was a near constant process. The whole effort from mining, processing coal, loading trains was a well coordinated effort that continued 24/7.
Looks hot, dusty and barren out there.
how often do they maintain these coal cars ?? some are sqeeking and others are making a bumping sound, what happens when a long train carrying fully loaded coal train cars and one of the cars wheels fail or bearings burn up ..what then ?
First time I have seen 9009 since it was new. In Lincoln Nebr. Along with 9010 back in I think 2017.
The sheer power of all those locomotives is insane,you guys have mega long and heavy trains to there. Great video
USA has some powerful diesel locomotives. Awesome to watch as I model American railways all the way in Australia.
That was a pleasure to watch! These big trains in this outstanding landsacpe, just awesome! Thank you from Germany
Awesome catches, definitely nothing but coal trains, neat to see an intermodal as well! Love that tanker train as well on the Black Hills Sub
Great video! Started at
Many thanks for curing my insomnia, I’ll definitely be back for more.👍😎
Fantastic footage, wow! On my bucket list for sure!
Love the optical illusion of the camera optics plays on the trains' lengths. Perfect example is at
