Western Railroad Discussion > Evening Ballast at N Platte

Sitting in the evening at North Platte, was a nice show. A variety of coal drags going west passed by, then this set of MOW hoppers cruised by.

Curling around the bend, the train heads for its slot in the yard.
Onward, the train splits the signals as it hustles down the rails.


Thanks for looking

First off, nice pictures, thanks for posting.

"Hustling down the rails?" Every signal I see is red!
Further, they appear to be absolute signals which means
you will stop and stay put. An explanation would be
appreciated.
