In the center of Washington state is an underrated piece of scenic railroad built by the Northern Pacific. The Yakima River Canyon is now ran by the BNSF railway and in the year 2020 is host to Eastbound only traffic consisting of mostly empty grain trains along with some empty coal and empty oil trains.
This video was taken over a couple days during a long weekend in October. It covers many locations in the main Yakima River Canyon which is about 20 miles long and runs between Ellensburg and Yakima Washington. One section of this video takes places farther West on the line near Bristol which is another short canyon setting along the river. This video showcases four empty grain trains and one empty coal train. Most of these trains are seen at two or more locations through the canyon.
These scenes were filmed with the professional DJI Inspire 2 drone.
