Western Railroad Discussion > 210 car mixed freight by KearneyDate: 06/10/19 06:58 210 car mixed freight by Kearney Author: inCHI At 8:45am Central, a eastbound mixed freight at Kearney, NE had 2 engines up front, 113 cars, 3 engines DPU, and 97 more cars, for 210 total. My count is approximate. The front had a lot of lumber, reefers, and covered hoppers, and the back 97 cars was almost entirely DDG cars and tanks. I wonder what the length and tonnage was on that.
