Ex-BN engine #1451 leads Boeing fuselage train
Author: JoCoLB

I found ex-Burlington Northern engine No. 1451 serving as the leader on one of those BNSF Railway Boeing fuselage trains yesterday while camping out briefly at Larry's Lookout in Gardner, KS, on the Emporia Sub.

Here are three going-away shots of the four-car train.

Nice catch! I wonder if Train will move this way all the way to Washington State. Anyone else catch this train?

Those cars will most likely be added to the next H-KCKPAS or similar train headed west from Kansas City. They would only continue west on their own if the fuselages are behind schedule for arrival in Washington.
