Odd Movement on the BNSF-Nice Power Though!

[penguingeneral2]

It's always fun to see the locomotive(s) in the middle of a train.

Del Monte switching will be back to UP's responsibility starting this summer. The way the agreement between the railroads work is, BNSF operates it for a full year starting in June or July(I cant remember) then UP operates it for a full year. BNSF had it second half 07 and first half 08, so coming up here soon UP will be taking over.

I have seen that local before and it had way more cars and olny one unit.

[ic6071]

Yes, I was shocked to see three units!

[Andrewsaxamophone]

I've NEVER seen the BNSF local look like that!

[ic6071]

lol, me neither, this was a first, and I haven't seen it happen since!

[jmano33]

On one of my videos, there is a lot of Norfolk Southern power, for one little train. It really isn't a lot of footage (if you know what I mean)

[conrailquality17]

That must be really rare. I saw a light power move like that here in Folkston with 5 BNSF SD40-2s, and Feromex GEVOs.

[marklester01]

NS does that kind of power on their locals too! sometimes a NS dash 9-,sd40-2,dash 8-32BW,or a NS high-hood GP50-with a-high-hood SD40-2

[detroitstu]

Nothing odd about this, I did a movement like that today switching out a industry in Milan, Mi.

[JSimp140]

that's nothin. try three dash-9s with a 5 car train. that's a normal occurrence on some NS branch lines in central new york.

[ConrailSD80MAC]

that's nothing. On Conrail I had a power move, 4 SD80MACs, 3 C40-8Ws, 5 SD50s and SD60s and a GP40-2, and two empty tank cars. Only locomotive doing the work was the lead GP40-2....

[trainlord11]

Is the third unit an ex BN GP15?

[thetrainman407]

when did you film this because i might have been there that day

[ic6071]

Back in July or late June.

[thetrainman407]

oh ok because i was there on the 6-12 of july

[goreds03]

was thet pushin g the one car since there cars on the back of the loco

[JR7582]

Well this is kinda weird. I saw that same BN GP15 at Rochelle. Not in that same consist, but that is the same locomotive.

[ic6071]

Yeah, its nice to see classic power like that once in a while.

[TommyBNSF]

I saw that GP15 the day I met you.

[ic6071]

yea i think he was in the middle of the cut when we saw him that day.

[Hiei2k7]

Yea, they store stuff on the old Del Monte tracks all the time.

[KCR58]

Wow @@ I love this action !

[Derailedtrain666]

Nice! never knew there were such things as GP-15's

[ic6071]

Yup! UP also has some.

[LenaVideos]

Nice catch on the BN GP-15.

[trainsmaniac2009]

They do that kind of crap all the time. That ain't odd. It's practically normal.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

Don't be a dick. That type of consist happens once in a blue moon!
