BNSF 25th Anniversary 6163 arrives in Amarillo with a 124-car loaded coal train.

Coal trains routinely run through Amarillo on the Transcon. The coal trains originate in the Powder River Basin coal mines and come through Amarillo on their way to the Gulf Coast or points in the southwestern United States such as Arizona.

They typically stop for a crew change at Amarillo's Junior Tower before proceeding west, where they dump the coal at one of several power plants.

This video highlights a 124-car coal train arriving in Amarillo's South Yard with a 25th Anniversary Heritage Locomotive on the point. The actions was filmed in the late afternoon and the sun was getting very low making a beautiful scene for the coal train to arrive and depart in.
