BHRR Taconite Train BH-1 General smokes it up as the engineer gives his 3 SD40-2's more throttle after having just departed East Thomas Yard after BNSF interchanged a U-KEEBIR Taconite Train to BHRR at East Thomas Yard, the BHRR comes over from Ensley, Al. to bring empties when needed, but sometimes runs light engines if BNSF doesnt need anything from BHRR, the Taconite is brought to Flint Ridge by BHRR for U.S. Steel, at one time this business was handled by Birmingham Southern Railroad which was bought out by WATCO last year
