BNSF's Stevens Pass

Travel to scenic Washington State and visit one of the toughest mountain grade on the entire BNSF: the former Great Northern line over Stevens Pass. Enjoy the scenery and mainline diesel action as we sample trains in a variety of scenic locations from Gold Bar to Wenatchee. Experience hot stack trains crawling up the 2.2 percent grade between Skykomish and Scenic. We've taken our cameras to several remote locations so you don't have to. Enjoy the action as the railroad crosses rushing rivers, travels past lofty peaks and runs through a variety of tunnels, including t he eight mile long Cascade Tunnel. This was shot immediately after the BN merger with the Santa Fe, so the line still had almost a completely Burlington Northern flavor.
