Running across North Dakota, the Jamestown Sub is a former Northern Pacific line. The line is sometimes called the “Northern Coal Route” so expect to see a lot of coal traffic! Traffic on this prairie line is mostly coal loads, and empties, running to and from the Powder River coal basin. Trains are led by SD70Ms, SD70ACE locomotives and the new GEVO. We also have a few Warbonnets thrown for variety, history and color. See big mainline action with the latest power on “Prairie Coal”.

A Flashback to 2010 was made as there are a parade of diesels on BNSF with other road names like Santa Fe, CEFX Leasing with a former Lake Superior & Ishpeming Unit, Burlington Northern, Kansas City Southern, & Canadian Pacific.
Locations include the Bismark North Dakota Bridge over the Missouri River with speedboats, Pierce at Milepost 189, Burleigh siding at MP182, McKenzie at MP177, Sterling at MP170, MP166, Driscol siding at MP162, the Steele grain elevator at MP151, Tappen Farm, Ladoga at MP135, Crystal Springs, West Medina at MP123, Cleveland (Not Ohio) at Milepost 113-referenced to a Jersey Central 0-6-0 on the Reading & Northern in Pennsylvania, the Windsor grain elevators at MP109, Eldrige at MP100, Bloom at MP95, Sanborn at MP76, Valley City Bridge at MP64, Peak at MP62, Oriska at MP55, Tower City at MP50, KO Junction at MP31, & so much more.
All in all, Peter Crook did a fantastic job narrating this program.

Largely coal traffic, the Jamestown Sub hosts just enough mixed freight consists to keep you wondering what’s coming next … with some pleasant surprises along the way. The prairie setting is starkly beautiful, and grain elevators … “prairie skyscrapers” … dot the landscape and add character to the line. The video is well shot and well edited, and make this an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes of video railfanning.

Ex-Northern Pacific mainline is a valuable line for the BNSF from Power River. But it also handles far more than coal as we see in this video. Plenty of general manifest trains also run through on the Jamestown Sub. The scenery is nice as well. Good production over all.

I have this and what I consider its companion, badlands coal – dickinson sub, both in bluray. Peter did his best with the locations here, but the geography is less inspiring than what is seen in the badlands. Bluray image is subpar. You should be able to read reporting marks on slow moving trains like you can in 7idea blurays. Weather and lighting always good, so it’s a shame the resolution is not better. Sound is dolby 2.0 digital, but it is a mono source duplicated on both tracks, not stereo. Time for an equipment upgrade, Peter!
