BNSF, short for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, is a railroad that mostly carries freight across the western portion of the United States. However, throughout the year, BNSF also runs some special passenger trains to various places in their system. In this video, we will watch some BNSF passenger trains in the Southern California Region. One of these trains was run for executives of short line railroads from around the country while the other was a special yearly excursion over Cajon Pass for children in the greater Los Angeles area

As nice as always Mike. Since it is the end of March I wonder if you are already on your trip to Florida. I have a recommendation here in Miami there is a railroad museum called the Goldcoast Railroad museum and it has an exhibit train that runs on occasion. It also has 2 of the 5 surviving Florida East Coast 4-6-2 -Pacifics- #153 and #113. In case your curious the other 3 surviving FEC 4-6-2s are Savannah and Atlanta #750 (formerly FEC #66) Georgia Northeastern 107 (Formerly FEC #60) and finally the last survivor is the most prominent one FEC #148 currently being restored at the USSC (United States Sugar Corporation) in Clewiston, FL.

neat catches! I've only seen BNSF OCS trains sitting in the yard, and the longest was probably four cars. But I did once see two BNSF passenger cars on the front of a coal train.
It's a shame BNSF didn't keep the special OCS motive power from ATSF or BN. That would make their OCS trains seem more special, and a blend of the past and present!
There's a guy tresspassing on the tracks at 5: 09! How often do you catch something like that on camera?

This is great for the private sector railroad companies because they can operate passenger trains again and they can substitute for scheduled charter trains that are normally operated by Amtrak. Amtrak is now banned from operating charter trains and from carrying private passenger cars on the back of their trains because of Amtrak new insurance policy.

Strange that sometimes they had 1 locomotive on each end and sometimes both on the same end. Seems that if you have the control system set up for 1 on each end, might as well leave it that way so that you can reverse easily.

Greetings from Pennsylvania. Oh Wow! What a fine video. Watching it reminds me of the vast differences between the flora in the various parts of our country. And the twilight scene is spectacular. Perfect! Many thanks. CAS

Hey Mike, I've been to Harpers Ferry and saw two CSX trains. One had locomotives at the end of the train. I saw elevated trains at DC.

Good video Mike. Didn't know that BNSF carried passengers as well as freight too. Union pacific does this as well, coincident?
