The Transcon in Eastern New Mexico
If you like to see the high cars rolling at speed, there are few better places on this continent to be than in eastern New Mexico alongside BNSF’s main line between Chicago and Los Angeles known as the Transcon. All of BNSF’s freight trains from Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis, and Texas to and from Northern and Southern California charge across the Llano Estacado or staked plain as the high plains west of Clovis are called. The hot “Z” trains with their power in a kaleidoscope of colors thunder across the rolling plains one after another. Until the recent recession this line was seeing as many as 100 trains a day on peak days of the week. The increase in stack trains and premium trailer traffic on this line in recent decades has been nothing short of phenomenal. If you like to see the high cars rolling at speed this is still “the greatest show on earth”. This program shows over twenty-four hours of awesome action on BNSF’s Clovis Subdivision between Clovis and the crossing of the Pecos River at Fort Sumner in May of 2009. “The Transcon in Eastern New Mexico” is a two DVD set and is two hours, 46 minutes in length. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

Kansas City Southern on Rich Mountain
The Kansas City Southern line across Rich Mountain astride the Arkansas – Oklahoma border is arguably the toughest mainline grade in the Midwest when both length and gradient are considered. Trains heading south out of the crew change and refueling stop at Heavener face a five mile, 1.45% climb up Stapp Hill at the base of Rich Mountain, a half a mile breather to Page, then the track climbs thirteen more miles on a gradient of 1.1% to the summit of Rich Mountain. Rich Mountain is part of the Ouachita Mountain range which stretches for nearly 150 miles in an east-west direction from southeastern Oklahoma to Hot Springs in south-central Arkansas. With most of the southbounds being heavy unit trains this is quite a show. And many of the KCS units are in the new heritage paint scheme that railfans refer to as the Southern Belle or retro-belle scheme. This underdog in the land of giants currently uses distributed power on their trains and some have power at three points in the train. This program shows a day and a half of action on and around Rich Mountain in May of 2009. 69 minutes. The DVD of this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.

BNSF's ex-CB&Q Denver Line
The former Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy’s line to Denver west of Lincoln, Nebraska, now part of BNSF’s Chicago to Denver line, was the heart and sole of the Burlington Route. Always a favorite of Burlington executives, this line hosted the Burlington’s famous Denver and California Zephyr passenger trains and the Chicago to Denver hot shot freight trains, and was among the first lines on the Burlington to get centralized traffic control over sixty years ago. In spite of the favoritism shown it by Burlington officials, the CB&Q’s Denver line west of Lincoln was never a major freight route and hosted as many passenger trains as freight trains as late as 1960. Today this line still hosts Amtrak’s California Zephyr and carries more freight business than ever. More freight trains traverse this line today than anytime since at least World War II. This program shows all the trains for 24 hours and then some on BNSF’s Denver line between Hastings and McCook in southwestern Nebraska in November of 2008. 65 minutes. The DVD of this program has the option of being watched with and without narration.
