I am keeping an eye on the yard looking for the train trying to catch it again. Usually the power stays with the train for a trip or two. The 6317 in front of it has been leading that set for a while. Hoping to catch it again!
And it has been here a couple of times, and I missed it. Work just gets in the way too much! On the 2nd it was in a coal load consisit preparing to head east. The scanner I have picked up a crew saying that it was a test train. 130 loads of coal and only to use three units to assault Beaver Hill. Then the 6022 was to be set out in Dickinson, ND. Well, it made it back on the 3rd on a coal empty coming back to town.... And on an earlier day, I caught this train,
A double mixed freight was my early Sunday catch as it crossed Glendive Creek, And a DPU free oil can. Only two units pulling out of three, I think,
Yesterday was spent going to Williston, ND for a little shopping trip. And to see the GN 3059, (Pics in Weekend proto fun thread,) and whatever trains we happened upon. Here's a couple of videos of two trains, both grain, one on the way there and one on the way home! Saw a few other neat trains,
Do I see a "Draper Taper" on that CN engine? Also, is any portion of the YV still in service by Watco? I know that BNSF took back at least a good portion of it.
An un-vandalized oldie, Detail of that modified numberboard box Nice! This GP has a horn that sounds muffled or choked, like a moose swallowed a pigeon in full bellow! Coal, coal, coal. Hopefully nobody gets any for Christmas!
I found this Youtube video with 2300 in the lead. It sounds like one of the baffles doesn't work. The lower pitched chime starts before the next one kicks in, which gives it a weird two-tone horn effect.
2300 being a GP38 has a 645 with blowers. Nice low growl to those engines! Had to make a run to Miles City yesterday to pickup a drum sander for refinishing a hardwood floor, so naturally I paid attention to the trains along the Yellowstone! Saw several and got two good video's. First seen was a double long empty grainer taking the Milw line south from Terry, Then, just east of Miles City I caught a shot of a stacker flying west, Which I then chased to the Miles City NP depot, but didn't get a video, just missing it, the train is behind the depot, And on the way home, with the sun getting low in the sky, I passed another eastbound grain empty. I managed to get ahead of it east of Terry and caught it going down the Milwaukee line and crossing over the NP main!
Hopefully good news? Is the RR pushing, in the aspect of demolition and limited time remaining? If so, not good.
Yes, that is how they are pushing. I haven't heard much lately. Hopefully they will get something going........
