What are those tall cars?

[cchan006]

@sdmacp: The tall cars are autoracks, carrying automobiles. They can have 2 or 3 levels inside.

Nice to see a GP-30 with doors and NOT filled with concrete! Damn CSX.......

Haven't seen a GP30 around here, or in Southern California for a long time, but there's still a few running around in the Pacific Northwest.

Where does BNSF have trackage to that requires the use of the Jack London line? Its UP correct?

[cchan006]

Seth,

I went to the Warm Springs Yard and caught the BNSF Warm Springs Local switching autoracks there - that's as far south as it goes on UP's tracks. I posted a new video titled "Autoracks in Fremont."

Even though it's 'patched', love to see those green and black 'white face' SD40-2s!

I'm guessing #2442 is the GP30u variant?
