The Winter of 2021 brought a significant amount of snowfall to the Pacific Northwest, including Western Washington. In this video, we will see Amtrak, Sounder, BNSF, and Tacoma Rail trains operating around Puget Sound and in the Cascade Mountains. At the end of the video, we will go back and revisit some scenes of Amtrak Cascades and a special SC-44 Charger locomotive test train that were captured in January of 2020.

Just want you to know this is my toddler’s absolutely favourite video of all time at the moment, and he loves everything you’ve got. It’s fantastic living in a world where something like this is so easy to find. A traditional TV show about trains, whether for kids or adults, would be interspersed with minutes of dialog and other variety that would lose him in an instant. Thanks for putting these together, and just sticking to the content. We love it!
Literally just showed my toddler and every time a train went past, he said “more”.
My 1 year old will say Choo Choo? And I know he wants to watch trains. The children's meuseum here has model trains and he loves them!!
Currently watching it with my 2 year old daughter. We have watched it at least once every day for over a week now. We call it “winter trains”. I absolutely loved trains when I was kid and would have killed to be able to watch something like this. Thanks for allowing me to create special memories with my daughter.

Same here!
You know what I love about this video. The BNSF engines pulling an Amtrak locomotive
For me, nothing beats watching trains move in snow.
It's pretty neat! Thanks for watching!
For me
Having spent summers and Holidays with my Auntie and Uncle right outside Anaconda Missouri, I'm well acquainted with trains. The tracks were only about 75 feet from their house and down a slight embankment. When the trains passed by you could see a bit more than the top third of all the cars. At night you could hear them approaching for several minutes beforehand and they shook the whole house. It is the most incredible memory. Every time I hear a train now it takes me back to the 50's and 60's. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. ❤️
Snow really brings out the glory in trains
0:56 respect for standing out there just to film a train.
Seeing Trains In The Snow Is Great
I sure miss Washington State in the winter time and rail fanning.
Thank you from the cowboys in Oklahoma feeding cows
Remarkable
Thank you, Jeremy!
You're welcome
That shot with the Twin Sisters, awesome!
It's refreshing to see passinger service return to Bellingham!
5:11 I love seeing just a regular snow plow on every cargo train, pushing snow
Great video
Thanks!
@@CoasterFan2105 you’re welcome
I recognized the rescued amtrak engine that was picked up in Skykomish. That was an exciting day for Skykomish on the cam.
Thank you I love trains!!!
🎄🌹🇮🇳🎄🌹 Nice Coverage
I do love me some snow and some cold weather, best time for good shots.
A wonderful selection of trains and venues.
Lots of good scenes here, Washington is a beautiful state.
1:33 I saw that one in Nooksack and I caught it on video I also saw the next day a power move with a BNSF ES44 GEVO!!!!
0:42 when BNSF starts stealing Amtrak locomotives
I lived two miles east of Skykomish. The winter trains just kept going. Between the train and right of way crews and the Plow operators it was hard work BUT the trains usually got through.
Looks Good mike
As someone who lives in Washington state I approve of this
0:58 never knew the Sounders went over the salters point line
This has to be one of they most serenic and mystical Train videos so far! Salute from Richmond California bay area
Amazing video of these trains in the snow. A lot of beautiful trains are also amazing too. It’s great wonderland with beauty trains traveling here. I hope to video more trains in snow besides that Christmas Train ride at the Virginia & Truckee that I did last year.
Thank you, Nathan!

I love this snow train
Awesome video
Snow is always a beautiful day for railfanning in my opinion. I hadn't done that yet but it'll be interesting to see. Very interesting vid!
I agree. Snow is perfect for railfanning.
Thank you!
Amo los trenes🚆y Amo la nieve❄❄⛄⛄🌬🌨❤
And wraps up the january that you upload videos
This is a fantastic video! I really enjoyed the winter scenery. In weather like this, train rides are most enjoyable to me! All bundled up in a nice warm blanket, with a window seat, and watching the rain or snow fall outside my window! Thanks again for this one!
Really great compilation you got here, I could watch these bad boys for hours. Love me some trains.
Winter is great for trains
@coasterfan2015. thank you!! thoroughly enjoyed every minute. love to walk down to old orchard beach maine to watch these trains. such powerful beasts. ❤ the ending was perfect.
This clip at 8:00 really surprises me, because those are Amtrak Midwest SC-44s on what appears to be an Empire Builder. Not a very common sight, I'd say! Really cool to see odd stuff like that.
The snow backdrop enhances the beauty of these trains! ❄️ 🚂
every time i want to look at something cool, i view your vids...so awesome, such power, the rumble, thunder, the videography...when i was younger, i would have worked for the RR...thank you...

Wow! That's really unique.
Love the Sounder scene next to Puget Sound. It must have been cold filming that one with the wind whipping up those waves. SR

Tolle Winter Impressionen Video ein fantastisches Video. Suuuuuuuper🚂🚂🚂🚂👍
Great filming, a very nice winter video. Great the many different trains. I like it very much, thanks for showing.
It's really great to see that the GP60B units are still in active service probably of lasted longer than the SD45B units that have almost all of already been scrapped
My little girl loves to put this video on while she plays with her Brio train set. Thanks a bunch.
Nice video! Love to see trains in the snow. Especially the tri-rail trains, (if they are tri-rail trains) if they aren’t, my bad, but keep it up as always!
I was in Washington
Nice!

Great video and photos. Only suggestion to improve the viewers enjoyment would be to ID the locations, if possible. Thanks.
Amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 likes from India
Awesome video, The wife and I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed the train action and scenery.
Mike I am so jealous of you I went filming in Oregon and Washington last may and I am dying to go back for winter filming.
Beautiful video Mike!
Awesome video!
We have a summer place near Leavenworth. Can have some bad snowstorms there in the winter.
Bellissimo!!!! E che paesaggi
very cool! Mike
Amazing video! They just roll through the snow like it’s nothing! Are there ever washout problems on the tracks by the water? We have tracks by the rivers here, but none with water splashing into them like that was doing.
Are you ever gonna do a video on VIA Rail OR GO transit???
I'm planning on it. Just not sure if it will be this year or next.
Nice
I will stay tuned for that! :D
@@CoasterFan2105 im also surprised that a big railfanning youtuber replied to my comment!
Thanks Mike. Another great video. Hope u kept warm during filming and waiting for trains?
This is amazing
You should make a video on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad and The Smart Train Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit.
