Exciting railroad action on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. See the BNSF as their trains roll across the scenic landscape of their North Dakota Coal Line. This rail line travels 373 miles from Fargo to Beach, ND. This former Northern Pacific line was known as the "Mainstreet of the Northwest" and many of their historic depots still survive. Video highlights include: massive Valley City Trestle, ex NP depot & grain elevators, unit coal and grain trains, scenic prairies and great plains, Missouri River Bridge built in 1998, mixed freight, intermodals & locals, spectacular national Badlands, colorful BNSF diesel power, and steep grade coal train pushers.
