The BNSF Officer's Trains with 15 beautiful vintage passenger cars enters Amarillo via the Boice City Subdivision. At the start of this video the train in transitioning to the Red River Valley Subdivision and heading for the Fuel Pads east of Amarillo, but it doesn't stop for fuel as expected. Instead, its stops just west of the Airport Blvd. overpass where a crew change takes place. Our cameras are directly across 3rd Street and have an excellent view of the entire train.

We expected the Officer Train to depart shortly after getting a fresh crew but that doesn't happen right away. A west bound high-speed priority Intermodal trains blasts into Amarillo right past the Officer Train. Once the Intermodal goes by, the Officer Train slowly heads east for Ft. Worth about 325 miles down the line. As it leaves, we show the entire train and a list of every car in the consist.

As the Officer Train passes out of sight, a few moments later an Intermodal chases the Officer Train east. It was a very busy an interesting time on the Red River Valley Subdivision about five miles east of downtown Amarillo.
