Fuel Points on BNSF
Author: mearsksealand

What are the fuel points on the BNSF Transcon and the HiLine across the top?

I know Barstow, Belen and Clovis on the Transcon and Hauser on the Hi Line--Where else does the Bnsf fuel to complete trip to Chicago

Thanks for any info

Barstow is a minor player in terms of fueling through trains. For westbounds, there are two "inspection tracks" that have fuel pumps, and eastbounds have fuel pumps on one inspection track, and one Main track.

Other than correcting "oops" situations, the only trains that get refueled in Barstow regularly are some of the trains to/from central and northern, CA (ones that go over Tehachapi).

Barstow used (read USED) to be a major fueling point, wonder what happened?
He asked with tongue in cheek.

Hiline: Hauser and Havre. Northtown had a fuel pad on a running track in the yard for fueling through freight trains.

Transcon: Barstow, Belen, Argentine (apparently Clovis too but I didn't know that)
