GE Tier 4 NS 3640 hauling more new railcars out of Mexico
Author: PALuvR

A few days ago I posted a shot of new UP covered hoppers coming out of Mexico. Today I shot AEGAS-30 NB out of Eagle Pass. Leading was NS 3640 with UP 6376 trailing. More new railcars, this time tankcars, were on the tail end. BLT-11-16.

First 3 pics captured a hawk passing over the approaching train

1-3. AEGAS-30 approaching Dittmar Lane being accompanied by a hawk

Looks like you had a good outing with all the trains and hawk. Nice catches of the old boxcars, the oil tank cars always look nice when they are shiny new. Also liked the black stallions.

In this case the oil will be vegetable oils. BRCX is Bunge Corporation.

We do see edible fat and tallow come through here destined for Mexico. So not all tanks are used for petroleum products.
