Western Railroad Discussion > remarkable consist on Joint Line . .Date: 04/15/14 10:30 remarkable consist on Joint Line . . Author: 3rdswitch . . Amazing luck getting out of a meeting this morning and reading a text from TO member CZ about a southbound BNSF manifest train with KCS-CSX-KCS-NS-CSX-NS power consist that passed Littleton, CO, on the joint UP-BNSF Denver Pueblo Joint Line main, at 0514 hrs with additional info that a coal load then rail train were running ahead of this amazing lashup. Arriving back home I found the rail train passing through Palmer Lake, headed up the hill to the house changed shoes then back to the crossing and here he comes;
top: climbing into Palmer Lake on main #1 with main #2 in the foreground. middle: with the sun out and a consist like this had to hit the quick pick Monument spot where I arrived righ on CZ's bumper. bottom: then headed to the south side of Monument to a spot appropriately called "Woodcarvers Curve" (note street sign) where it began to get cloudy so I said a big thanks to CZ for the tip and headed for home and lunch. Just another day in the neighborhood on the ever interesting and sometimes surprising Joint Line. JB Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/15/14 10:31 by 3rdswitch.
