A CP/BNSF transfer of interchange traffic makes a reverse move on CP track on 19 Apr 18: A BNSF Spokane-Northtown high-priority manifest has this heavy duty flatcar load on 20 Apr 18:
UP 8988 and 7331 pull a loaded coal train up the hill in Denton, Tx 3/5/18 with UP 5765 and 7071 working DPU. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Looking east from the 3rd Street crossing in Rosenberg. An empty coal train waits for permission to cross the the UP Sunset line and head north to Fort Worth.
It is really not quite so sever a grade. Telephoto zoom just makes it look that way. In this view the pilot of the lead locomotive is about over the frog and you can see the spur dropping down to the derail sign.
Oh, gotcha. Hey, what's the story on those tank cars, they look brand new?? Never seen those white tops before.
Brand spanking new crude oil tank cars. They are so shiny they reflect the sky and horizon off to the right.
Great photos, with the nice steam as an apéritif... Seems to be a MOW equipment storage track, with what seems to be hi-railers or some other light self-propelled equipment parked in the distance. They're most likely the heaviest that track ever sees or has seen in a long time... I wouldn't back an ET44AH onto that, for sure...
They park bad order locomotives on it all the time. This photo is from about 8 years ago showing the two geeps used for the local tied up on the spur.
Ummm. 189 tons is a mighty small train. If she's loaded and heavy, I'm thinking way more than three digits....
Seeing the differing colors, some have been laying there for a good period of time. Note the grass growth around and through them, which was cut a while ago as well.
