Western Railroad Discussion > Three within thirty! Along the Snake River in Idaho (part 2)

Between Glenns Ferry Idaho and the tiny town of King Hill Idaho.

E.B. Domestic Stack led by #2538, #4448, #4812 with a number of refers on the head end and mid train DP's #4997 & #8472

My apologies for splitting this video in two. A very long train which put the single video over on mega bites. Had to take some of the well cars out of the middle to make it the proper size.
Thank you and happy hunting!

Nice! What was the total car/platform count?

I'm guessing that this is a KPDG2 train, though historically, I haven't seen the international containers on it in that big of a number.

Far cry when I used to see hot intermodals go by this location doing 70 mph. Big, slow moving land barges now...

The KPDG2 is supposed to be the one with reefers on the head end, so yeah, that would fit. KPDG2 (and its counterpart) seem to be doing a lot more marine business now, with the int'l marine trains greatly diminishing on this corridor.

The march of progress... I guess.
