Since I am at home for a couple of days, was following this movement. Went by Topeka mid day yesterday and it was already gone. But I have some time and wouldn't mind getting some shots on Raton while home, Any idea of how long and what the plans are for this testing down here/ Thanks, Ben

BNSF 82 Kootenai River test car passed Delhi, Colorado, wigwag about 11:30 AM September 25, 2017. BNSF Raton Pass Subdivision. EMDX 1603 not on this move. No idea on Raton Pass stay. Suggest you hit Trinidad on September 26, 2017.
