Western Railroad Discussion > Not many decent Warbonnets left .....

BNSF 4715 West on something called G-EDYDHT5-17A at Argyle, IA 2005-10-17. Don't know what's in those coal hoppers covered in tarps but I do know that it stunk.

I think those are loads of animal feed bound for Texas.

Who's that masked-man standing down there next to the house, while giving a roll-by to the train?

Ahhh, the joys of rail fanning...
looks like Warbonnets pulling covered wagons.

It is cattle feed, comes out of Eddyville, Ia. and goes down to Dalhart, Tx. I've also heard the stuff in the cars is time sensitive or else it hardens in the cars. Most of those trains run south out of Burlington down the K-Line to West Quincy, Mo. and across the old BN to Kansas City and south from there....but occassionally like this one take the route to Cameron, Il. and around the connection to head westbound.

The "masked man" is a signal guy. ATCS apparently giving trouble between Argyle and Medill. Our ATCS screen kept doing odd things on MT1 until they left.
