[68][4k] BNSF Trains Riding on a Volcano, Lakeside Sub, WA 06/21/2018 ©mbmars01

Tectonic motion has shifted the North American Plate from east to west over a hotspot located under the Columbia Plateau and ranging from the Pacific boundary to Yellowstone Park. It caused the formation of the oldest but still active volcanos located on the western boundary in the Cascade Range, and currently creates all those fascinating geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park. The Columbia Basin resides in between and BNSF's Lakeside Subdivision (and UP's Ayer Sub) crosses it in north-south direction. So, BNSF trains literally ride on cold volcanic lava with a hot plume underneath it. Enjoy the selection of BNSF trains shown in this video, caught on the trip from Spokane, WA to Pasco, WA on 6/21/2018!
Note: This video has been recorded and produced in 4k Ultra-HD resolution.

Awesome video. Lots of EMD power. 👍👍👍 Very Cool 😎😎😎

@mbmars01 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. I noticed that BNSF uses EMD power typically on their low-priority trains like coal and manifests. The high-priority trains like intermodal (and I guess even export grain on those lines in the west) have almost exclusively GE power.

Eastern Washington and Oregon, and most of Idaho between Oregon and Wyoming is one huge basaltic flow as a result of the caldera that currently resides beneath Yellowstone. As much as I'd like to see that thing explode in my lifetime, I hope it does not, because it would pretty much spell the end of the world for most of the Northern Hemisphere. And I don't currently have the funds to resettle in Argentina. Another nice selection of trains. Good stuff!

It's more likely that Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Rainier could erupt at some time soon as they are charging up, but Yellowstone might indeed also be at danger. Unfortunately, Mt. St. Helens was covered in clouds when I was there. When I prepared for my trip I learned that scientists had warned that an eruption of Mt. St. Helens was imminent a year before it actually happened in May 1980. Nobody had believed them and nothing was done to prepare for the disaster...

@J3scribe 6 жыл бұрын

The Yellowstone caldera is around 100,000 years overdue when they average out the rate of its activity. The eruption of St Helens was astonishing. My sister was living in Coeur d'Alene, ID at the time. She said the rain of ash was otherworldly.

@mbmars01 6 жыл бұрын

The eruption and the huge ash cloud really must have been amazing sights.

Quick suggestion... For more information than you could possibly need or want, the Central Washington University has a series of Geology lectures that talk all about that, and in a few actually touch on the Yellowstone Hotspot.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLeYnc6W0qvdhaM.html he describes the rotation of the landmass up there which explains some of the odd ways that the hotspot appears to have moved... So they are not really riding on a volcano, but on lots of lava that flowed in lots of cracks almost all the way to the Pacific..

@mbmars01 5 жыл бұрын

This sounds about right. For me from Georgia, all of Washington state rides on volcanos :)

@Billblom 5 жыл бұрын

@@mbmars01 Yep... There are a few in that state.. and some historic long dead ones... the weirdest one was a huge chunk of cracks in the ground that OOZED for centuries.. and had had high flood rates from time to time. (The prof that does the presentations is a real "rock star" --he also touches on the gold mines in that area...

@mbmars01 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks!. Well, the volcanos are nearby in the Cascade Range (one of them, Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980). The Columbia Plateau is filled with (very old) lava from volcanic activity long time ago.

@jop4649 Жыл бұрын

The Columbia Plateau was formed in flood basalt eruptions 15 to 17 million years ago. The beginning of the flood basalts coincidentally took place close to where the Yellowstone Hotspot was 17 million years ago. Though there's still the questions and a possibility that the Yellowstone Hotspot may not have created the flood basalts.
