Wheel Sets on Tractor Trailer (BNSF 409188 covered hopper
Title:  Wheel Sets on Tractor Trailer (BNSF 409188 covered hopper
Description:  Wheel Sets on Tractor Trailer (BNSF 409188 covered hopper in background) showing apparently whatever odd shift has occurred in the universe, its happening even here in Vancouver where transporting cargo by rail is not the best option, even for railroads themselves... about like the local Seattle Amtrak route north of here where you stand a 15-20% chance youll actually be traveling by bus, not Amtrak, no matter what your ticket says. (Rumor has it after the rains start, thats when the statistical shift happens that skews the rest of the year, because after slide season hits, supposedly its more than 50% of north-south "Amtrak" passengers ride a bus at some point along the route, sometimes for extended periods.)
