Author: goneon66

i just saw this e/b stack train out of kingman, az on the bnsf's seligman sub. it was configured 5x138x3x149x2.

that was approx. 287 wells/double stacks moving east on one train.......

if you can, could you give us a "heads-up" when that monster is near flagstaff so we can watch it on the webcam?

thanks.......

Has to be one of those that BNSF runs like a few times per week, I've seen the Westbound version of this monster a few times, talk about just a gigantic freight train!

Can’t recall all the details offhand, but it was over 16,000 feet with the power added and the tonnage was just a hair over 19,000...

That's an enormous amount of power.

Does BNSF have limits on train length? The company cut off one crew's start, across this whole start to finish.

yea, but how many recrews will it cause and/or train delays when it plugs terminals like barstow, belen, clovis, and amarillo?
