JC Posted from Android Date: 10/09/15 14:42 Re: BNSF Transcontinental crew changes Author: 3rdswitch Barstow, Needles, Winslow, Belen, Clovis, Amarillo, Wellington, Kansas City, Ft Madison, Chicago area. With Belen to Amarillo long pools for some trains ( some trains go through Clovis without crew change ) and San Bernardino to Needles long pools on some trains ( a few trains go through Barstow without crew change). On the Nortern CA route Barstow to Bakersfield, Needles to Bakersfield long pools on some trains and north of Bakersfield USED to be Bakersfield to Fresno, Fresno to Stockton, Stockton to Richmond but think that has changed.

And as of October 6, 2015, a limited number of Los Angeles to Needles Long Pools... Oh boy. Mr. MRL Date: 10/09/15 18:51 Re: BNSF Transcontinental crew changes Author: daniel3197 Just wondering for the Norcal (Richmond) extension,
Does BNSF still change crew at Fresno-CALWA ???? In 1980s ATSF ran crews from Richmond--Calwa (Fresno) then Calwa to Bakersfield and then onward to Barstow. Bakersfield is obvious even if they have Richmond to Bakersfield LONG pool trains. The answers to my post plus the LA to Chocago answers would cover all of the former ATSF western lines. GOOD and informative info here. Thanks for the info already provided. ----Daniel ================================= 3rdswitch Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Barstow, Needles, Winslow, Belen, Clovis, > Amarillo, Wellington, Kansas City, Ft Madison, > Chicago area.

Used for priority Z trains. JC Date: 10/10/15 08:16 Re: BNSF Transcontinental crew changes Author: ntharalson bnsfengineer Wrote:

(This may include the unit trains that come off the old Q in G'burg.) The intermodals change at Ft. Madison and run through Galesburg. Also, some of the KC intermodal changes now take place at Kansas City Logistics Park which is located between Gardner and Edgerton, KS, some 30 miles west of Argentine, the old KC crew change spot.
