Here's some video I shot of a westbound BNSF mixed freight passing through Ottumwa, Iowa, on January 19th, 2013, as seen from the Market Street grade crossing, near the Amtrak station. The train is powered by two ex-BN "Executive" SD70MAC locomotives, #9706 and #9553. This is somewhat unusual for BNSF, as they normally assign these diesels to heavy coal trains. The train features a long cut of autorack cars at the beginning, followed by all different kinds of freight cars at the end. Enjoy!
