2009 - Duration 4 minutes 10 Always wondered why they need that many diesels to pull what 2 big boys could pull?

A loaded BNSF coal train coming off the Valley Sub and an empty from Texas coming off the Angora Sub at Northport, NE both heading north up the Angora Sub towards Alliance, NE. Both have 6 locos, Angora Hill starts here, so while the load has the early advantage, the empty clearly looks like it'll win the race. The ending is very well-timed.
