Since the days of the Burlington Northern, The Funnel has seen some of the heaviest rail traffic in the Northwest. Now part of the busy BNSF Northern Transcon, this 70 mile-long corridor between Spokane, Washington and Sandpoint, Idaho is still a railfan magnet.

7idea Productions paid several visits to this scenic line in different seasons. Our tour begins at Latah Junction where trains roll in and out of downtown Spokane. The tracks travel in a northeasterly direction into the Idaho panhandle before crossing the 5,000 foot Lake Pend Oreille Bridge and arriving at Sandpoint Junction. Unit grain trains, coal, intermodal, vehicle, manifests and the new Bakken oil trains all use this important route.

With over 50 trains per day on a line with several sections of single track, dispatchers and crews have to stay on their toes to keep things rolling. From clear summer days, to cold winter nights, this is great railroad action you don’t want to miss! Shot in stunning hi-definition between 2009 and 2013.

  1. Dan

    Superb from start to finish … the landscape, the trains, the changing seasons, the camerawork, the editing and the narration. A number of producers have done programs on The Funnel, but 7idea’s flair for video storytelling makes this one of the best. A great addition to any collection.

    Like all videos by 7Idea….. outstanding. Love the different seasons shown over several years. The lake crossing west of Sandpoint is superb. Words can not say enough about this production. The scenery, the length of the trains, the variety of trains….. all excellent.

    Awesome video for any BNSF fan.

  5. Everywhere West

    Since this was filmed over several years, we see the line in all seasons. We also see a wide variety of traffic, from unit trains to locals. Of course we also see a variety of motive power – even some still in BN paint.
