BNSF eastbound stacks sail through Control Point 18.9, just west of Lonetree, ND in the middle of a heavy snow squall in 2018: In 2018, A short CP local speeds down the main past Manfred, ND's elevator bound for Harvey yard:
Got around to visiting the Tokyo Metro subway museum on this trip. Among the many exhibits was this speeder that had been used in the subways.
Wednesday, 2023-02-22, was a gloomy day. Nevertheless, I could not have made a decent picture of NS 20X passing the restored Wernersville, PA, station, built by the Reading RR in the 1920's.
BNSF had the tail of a westbound Z go on the ground around MP 10.8, BNSF Glasgow Sub near CP10.6 around 0330 this morning. The temps then hovered around -18°F, and at the time I visited around 1800L, it was a balmy -4°, and a stiff breeze made image capture expedient... The local road, 128th Ave is clogged with heavy trucks and equipment.

No injuries, and no HAZMAT released. Everything stayed upright, according to a local rail. Miserable weather to be sure!
Excellent pictures of a bad situation. As previously mentioned, no injuries and no hazmat issues is a good thing. I came across this in the Reno yard shortly after it happened but could not get closer and had to leave before anybody arrived to investigate. To me it looked like 5075/5159 possibly proceeded into the switch that was already occupied. All I saw was one very embarrassed person on the phone and pacing around shaking his head.
Is this how gensets or switchers are made? A couple widecabs got a little cozy? On a serious note, Ruh-roh, Raggy!
These will be some of the last loads from the ADM Milling plant in New Braunfels Tx. The mill which has been in operation for nearly 140 years is closing March.
My Mississippi River cruise from New Orleans ended at Red Wing, MN instead of St. Paul due to high water. I have no information about this facility except it looked interesting. After reading the history of Red Wing on Wikipedia, it's possible that this facility is for wheat storage and shipping. Though that doesn't explain tank cars, usually used for liquids. Wheat grain and flour usually are shipped by covered hoppers. Anybody familiar with the Red Wing area, especially this facility?
I am guessing this elevator no longer ships by rail? Or is their track hidden behind the bushes and grass?
