It’s the 1970’s era of the BN in Washington and Montana, as well as pre-merger views of the Burlington, Northern Pacific, and Great Northern with pre-merger CB&Q, NP and GN in the Twin Cities, Montana and Nebraska.

Ken Bealer travelled to Washington in 1979 searching for F-units and ALCo’s, and also found GP30’s, SD40’s and SD45’s, and trains of the Milwaukee, Union Pacific, Weyerhaeuser Lumber, and electrics on the Yakima Valley Transit. GN, NP and SP&S territory is covered with many scenes featuring live audio recorded on the scene. EMD covered wagon fans and passenger train fans are in for a special treat, as varnish of the Q, NP, GN and Amtrak are also featured.

Parts 1 and 2 of this series looks at the last 6 years of the BN prior to the BNSF merger.

  1. Matt

    This first 15-20 min is not original sound, older Q passenger trains, steam excursions and some freight. The other 40 min is BN freight. Some Alcos and F’s caught leading with original sound. UP/MILW and a lot of Amtrak. Not s bad program, just too short.

  2. Aw

    I love the Burington Northern and anything clear block. This is a great series if you like BN or first generation diesels. Excellent video with very informative narration. As always, Clear Block put this video together nicely. Its a shame there were not more Clear Block videos.

  3. Junior

    Very nice selection of tape from the 1970s when BN was newly merged and some tape from before the merger. This is the third tape in the Clear Block series on the BN. Well done series.
