video of a northbound loaded unit coal train

Here's a hypnotic video of a unit coal train traversing selected spots on the Burrlington Northern in HO in 1973. The video was taken by my son-in-law Eric Gladstone while visiting us in Seattle. It was nice that he got the shots down at eye level, especially since we're both 6'5" tall in real life. You can see that I haven't gotten around to weathering either the locos or the cars, other than painting some of the wheels and trucks with rust, but there have been higher priorities so far, as documented in my previous blog posts.
