Where is it now ?

A week ago I got 2 of these large double stack trains - one at Crozier and one in lower Kingman Canyon.

The first one was eastbound on April 15 running 2x2x2. (Photo 1).

The second one was westbound on April 16 running 3x2x1. (Photo 2).

I don't know if they were as long as the train mentioned here but they were certainly long enough.

Right after that triple powered train was another triple powered set running 3x3x2. Most of the cars were ADM and VeraEngery so I assume it was a trainload of soybeans or similar. (Photo 3).

More likely DDG from an ethanol plant. Raw beans would have
been in railroad or other leaser cars.
