Help with train IDs on BNSF Fallbridge sub (Columbia River Gorge)
Author: Dick

I could use help identifying three trains f0r an upcoming video on BNSF's Fallbridge sub. However these trains are over a month old and the car and locomotive numbers may not be traceable. These trains were videotaped on Friday, May 11th, 2018.

EB by Dallesport at 8:39 a.m. (Lead engines 4505 – 8856). Other engines are 1778 – 1999. Car numbers are TBOX 889434, BNSF 781623, 545801, 498340, 471090.

WB near Lyle at 3:03 p.m. Lead engine appears to be 7921. I was looking down at this loaded grain train and couldn’t get any car numbers.

EB by Bingen at 9:45 p.m. Car numbers are TTZX 863927, ACFX 36154, WLPX 6946, SRY 9118.

Any help is appreciated.

Was the Dallesport train 4x0 or 2x2 DPU?  If DPU, the only one I know of by Dallesport with DPU would be H VAWBAR1.

1778 and 1999 are SD40-2, so they would not be DPUs. Probably the SEAPAS bound for Pasco as those units have been hanginin around ther for years.
