Defective Detector
Author: KB5WK

These westbound fracing sand loads sure mess up the MP 591 detector on the KCS Alliance sub in Plano TX near Custer Road. Or maybe the little man inside is not playing with a full deck.

1) KCS 4171 leaving Wylie TX

2) DPU power at Murphy TX

3) Video at Murphy TX with detector reporting part 2 of my video.

1801 axles: 4 engines and 444.25 cars. They've really got those tonnage ratings dialed in...

Love that wayside train horn. :-/

Obviously, 6 units, 441 cars followed very closely
by a really fast road foreman on a trackmounted unicycle!

Is the detector set up to detect wide loads and tall tales?
