Description

Welcome to another yard tour video! In this video, we're in Kansas City, Kansas at the BNSF Argentine Yard. Named for the Argentine district of Kansas City, this former Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railyard dates back to 1875, and has grown to become the largest railyard in the BNSF network. The yard is over 780-acres, and handles more than 2,100 railcars on a daily basis.

In this video, we'll explore above the yard, featuring unique views of the hump yard operations.
