BNSF Red River Valley Subdivision

The former Burlington Route’s Fort Worth and Denver Railway line between Amarillo and Wichita Falls used to be a lightly used secondary main line. Today this heavy duty line known as the Red River Valley Subdivision is part of BNSF’s main line between Denver and Dallas-Fort Worth via Amarillo. This line is a roller coaster as it crosses the Texas plains while paralleling the upper Red River Valley through northern Texas and the Texas Panhandle. In the spring of 2009 the Red River Valley sub was hosting around twenty or more trains a day, including many coal trains with distributed power fore and aft and hot intermodal trains between the West Coast and Dallas-Fort Worth. This program shows the trains and operations for over 24 hours on BNSF’s Red River Valley Sub between Wichita Falls and Childress, in May of 2009. “BNSF’s Red River Valley Subdivision” is 63 minutes long and sells for $30.95 plus $5 for S&H.  This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.
