Well, that was different!
Author: funnelfan

 Exactly at 4am a short but solid westbound train of brand new unmarked 53' trailers passed through Cheney, WA on the BNSF. Would be a great "photo freight" in the Columbia River Gorge later today. Sorry, didn't see the power.

Speaking of not normal moves, a windmill blade train was parked in georgetown (seattle) all day yesterday, left around 21:30, and I think it also sat a while in wenatchee. If i heard right it was u-vawjam. Dunno if it passed through spokane yet or not.

Another set of trailers was in Cicero, IL last evening when my Metra train passed by. They were not there this morning so they must have headed west overnight. They do have a small red logo on the front end but it was not anything I recognized.
