BNSF Railway (BNSF) 6089 - GE ES44AC

The X-MONRNS idles at the Nichols Junction wye, waiting to enter the Fort Scott Sub with grain empties from the A&M in Monett and an awesome lashup.

Westbound ethanol loads on the Fallbridge sub.

Bnsf 6089 races a Z9 east down the Marceline Sub, The rear of the train is cresting the hill which is wear the town is.

Still there after all those years!

When the eastbound passed we started to hear the rumble and horn of a westbound train rushing our way. BNSF 6089 leads a westbound intermodel out of Wenona. This would be the final train of the evening. A total of 23 today, so we caught less than 20 on the Transcon which is very unusual for such a busy railroad. The longest day of the year ended up being more like the shortest day of summer do to all the rain. If it wouldnt have been for all the cloud cover that evening we might have been able to stay out longer but it just got too dark. That brings the total number of trains to 67 for the trip. Tomorrow we head out to Galesburg following the Transcon from Wenona to there. Hopefully there are more trains tomorrow!

This was a freshly repainted and overhauled BNSF SD75M trailing on the MEM-KCK train at Turners, MO!

Nb empty coal train rolls 25 Mph up the line due to bad track conditions.

This load sat at Henderson st nearly all day. Im not sure but I think the leader took a dump because the new crew said they needed a carman and later when I went by it was blue carded.

The first of two U-KEEBIP type train Friday morning

Alma (?) coal empties.
