Catch of BNSF-Powered Night Train on Eastbound Line

I had to do some quick maneuvering to catch this one.

Despite waiting over three hours for its arrival, I got caught between NS 12R, which had stopped on the Main Line, and the arriving P75, waiting on the Westbound track. The train I had been waiting for was on the Eastbound, on the far side of P75—making things tricky.

Fortunately, knowing the streets in this part of town really paid off. I made it to a new vantage point with just a couple of minutes to spare and was rewarded with this BNSF-powered military train heading to the Port of Charleston.

This one’s quick—the entire video is under three minutes—but well worth the effort. Hope you enjoy it, and thank you for watching!
