Western Railroad Discussion > MEGA BNSF track inspection train spotted

http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,2737784

Was on my way to Quincy Illinois this evening at about 1800 ... spotted the profile of something strange in the West Quincy Missouri yards ... It was the Rio Grande River.

Upon closer inspection, it was the aforementioned track inspection train split into two ... Otis, 85, 86 were behind the 81 and Rio Grand River. Both sets had their own locomotive (don't remember the numbers, gimme a sec and I'll get the pictures uploaded). Both engines were dead, but the generators on the cars were humming.

Don't know where they will head tomorrow ... south on the K Line or west on the Brookfield main?

Maybe it will go south down the k line.....of course with the 28 slow orders it wont make it to lindenwood

Here are the shots ...

Power for Otis, 86, 85 was BNSF 4830

Power for 81 & Rio Grande River was BNSF 7553.

If you find out they are heading towards Brookfield please let me know! I'll brave the rain they are calling for to grab some pics!

Hmm... interesting. Thanks for the follow-up.

Intel says they might be moving to KC, can't confirm at this time ...
