Hinckley Sub/U-SUPSRX5-26G |
Description: |
Almost turned around when I found out he had two cars. But the sun broke through the clouds and I figured I might as well get a shot since I drove out here. Two H1's, one a bit nicer than the other, roll through the wetland and forest filled Andover with a crane in tow. |

Two Green Dueces, an H1 GP30 body, and another BN Green geep put away their train in the R yard. Why this train had this power I dont know, but I do know that this is the first time I've shot an SD40-2 leading at Northtown (besides the BN-CP) in well over eight or nine months! |

Fine then, BNSF |
Description: |
If someone would have told me I'd shoot two pairs of BNSF SD40-2's on road trains in less than 24 hours I would have thought that person th be insane. I would have also had to bite my tongue because here comes the NTWKCK at University, headed for Wilmar. At first I thought that this had to be a transfer but after noticing the track he was on and judging the cars in his train, I realized that these two Cascades were given rare duties on a road train, so the chase quickly ensued. |

Apparently Northtown had other ideas, and the crew was informed that this train is going all the way to Staples, as is. I couldn't believe it. BNSF actually threw a curveball and surprised me, about the first time in over a year. And so here they are, blowing gray smoke as they stretch a bit on the high iron at University. |
