The freight has been blowing through my NC town recently. We’re talking 100+ car trains with engines mid-line to pull and push the load. Truly a sight to see.

The freight traffic through North Idaho is just unbelievable. Huge oil trains. Huge coal trains. Huge lumber trains. Huge double-stacked container trains. Huge rail yards scattered all over. Everything running 24x7.

BNSF is working to add a second track across hundreds of miles where single track is now operating. They are working to build a second bridge across Lake Pend Oreille to ease congestion and slow downs. The locals are really worried about hazardous cargo derailments ruining the beautiful lake.
