BNSF corn syrup train G-RCIEAP6-09A (from the Iowa Interstate at Rock Island, Illinois to Ferromex at Eagle Pass, Texas) was at Justin, Texas with ES44DC 7873, ES44AC 5813 and distributed power unit SD70MAC 9819, still in Grinstein Green, on the rear. The track next to the train is the BNSF interchange with Wabtec-GE, and the track in the foreground is the Wabtec test track for its Fort Worth plant.

Sometimes the empty coal trains DPUs-actually the lead power on the southbound trip-stay on the train when returning to the mine. It makes for a good looking photo as the train rolls away.

Eastbound coal loads pass through badlands topography on the Dickinson sub.

Coalie

In Laurel Yard

I never thought I could get a meet shot at Bethel. Meets are rare here due to the piding being small and not used very often, along with 2 crossings in the middle of it. On this day, traffic was heavy and the local had no other choice but to take the siding and meet an empty coal train. Cross this one off the bucket list.

2 WB BNSF Coal Loads await crews to get them farther west. Headed for Roberts Banks BC, I believe.

I may be wrong, but I think I remember that this was 732 with this DPU.
