High and Wide from Burlington to Des Moines?
Author: Agent

Bear with me as this information came in a few different messages that I'll try to put all together here. I have been told that there is a load in Burlington, Iowa of "very large poles" that will be going to Des Moines. I think other trains will have to stop when meeting it, it I understood one point correctly. Anyone know more about this?

I drove down by the river last night and checked out the yard also. I did not see anything like you are mentioning but that doesn't mean it isn't here if it is in the middle of the yard. Will repost if I see something like you are saying..

The poles are/were at West Burlington Yard on Sunday. They had buffer cars on both ends. I don't know if they are still there though.
