Follow BNSF Unit Grain Train - From crew arrival through leaving Amarillo on the Transcon.

A BNSF Unit Grain Train, over a mile long, sits at a signal at E. 3rd Ave and Eastern St in Amarillo, waiting for its crew to arrive. We watch the engineer and conductor arrive, board the train, check over the locomotive and a few of the lead cars before getting clearance to depart west on the Red River Valley Subdivision.

They proceed westbound to the signal at Bull Road where the dispatcher holds them for the Transcon to clear up in downtown Amarillo. After a few double stack trains depart Amarillo eastbound on the Transcon, the Unit Grain train with CSX #714 on the point, comes onto the Transcon after leaving the Bull Road location.

The Unit Grain with CSX 714 passes by our camera again, this time showing the other side of the train as it departs Amarillo South Yard on the "Santa Fe" main of the Transcon.
