Western Railroad Discussion > Shoving platform in use

From last August, the BNSF Connell Turn with a pair of H1 SD40-2's heads west out of Connell with two reefers and caboose 12600 for the short run down to the ConAgra/Lamb Weston spur.

1) BNSF 1694/1668 head up the days local 8-27-13 out of Connell, WA.
2) Starting up the spur to switch out the 2 empties for two loads.
3) Work complete the train backs down the spur and will head back to the Connell yard "shoving platform" first.

First time I've been to Connell and actually seen the BN caboose there turn a wheel!
