Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Detouring Coal Trains on UPDate: 07/03/15 13:36 BNSF Detouring Coal Trains on UP Author: WichitaJct Saw this EB train on the UP just after noon in Lawrence (KS,). UP unit on the point followed by two BNSF SD70s. Two BNSF DPUs on the rear. This train had a real dog's dinner mix of reporting marks, much like a train I would have seen on the BNSF when I lived up in Nebraska.
