Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Gateway Sub GrainerDate: 03/19/17 16:10 BNSF Gateway Sub Grainer Author: icancmp193 Thanks to a tip from Action Mike up in Bend, I kept my ears open for a southbound 4-3 grain train that left there at 7 PM Saturday night. I don't know if the run time is typical, but at about 3:20 PM the BNSF C44-9W 4434 arrived at Stampfli Lane in suburban Crescent Mills, CA. That's 20 hours, 20 minutes. The DPU set was BNSF 6536, 4436 and 7829. Alas, everything was orange. Plenty of snowmelt water in Indian Creek and the pastures, with a rainy week ahead.
