Thank you Tim nice to here from you hope all is well. I want to highlight more thing from the Pueblo Sub trying to include as much of the informayion you have given me in the descriptions to give some history of the area. Going to do the same with the Joint Line. I lost her in Fowler needed gas unfortunatly

Pretty cool... looked as though that crew at the end has a little knuckle trouble. At least the conductor didn't have far to walk. Nice catch... ;-)

Yeah he didn't lucky guy they coudn't get the pin to drop on the centerbeam until he kicked it which I found commical. The spine cars came to a rest right over a crossing too.

I live in Fowler and virtually all of the BNSF trains are Eastbound. The only Westbound train that I have seen was carrying Boeing 737 Fuselages (no wings) mounted on Railcars. Also there are miles of empty automobile transport Railcars parked on sidings west of Sugar City.

You are very right almost all traffic on the Pueblo Subdivision that runs from Pueblo to Las Animas is Eastbound in compass direction but the railroad still refers to them as southbounds until Las Animas. And also I know what your talkin about I have seen all those autoracks out there its like a grave yard that is the old Missouri Pacific line.

Hey Josh you caught two rules violations one at 4:45 and 6:45 the first one was where he worked betwen the cars without getting a 50 foot separation cause can gaurantee you couldn't fit a Coal hopper in the space between those knuckles the second waas where he used his foot to close the coupler nothing on the train is operable with your feet... Just lettin ya know. Dont worry about deleting the vid.
