Western Railroad Discussion > Izaak Walton July TripDate: 07/30/20 07:02 Izaak Walton July Trip Author: jayman Two weeks ago I went up to my favorite place Montana to visit family and friends. July 15-16 I stayed at my favorite place the Izaak Walton Inn, from 12PM-12PM my train count was 25 in 24hrs I got 17 in 24hrs on my last trip to the Inn. It was good to see traffic pick up again, here are some my shots.

It was a WB parade during the afternoon. Another WB a 2x2 Oil can comes off the pass haven't seen too many of these.

   Date: 07/30/20 07:15 Re: Izaak Walton July Trip Author: jayman A 2x1 X train charging up the grade.
A short Pasco to Shelby manifest whizzing by the Inn in a perfect meet with the Empire Bulider 7.

A bunch of intermodal trains passed through during the night.
A WB 2x2 grain load with a CB&Q Heritage Hopper passing by as I enjoy delicious huckleberry pancakes.

I was also told there is only 15 operating SD40-2 left on BNSF as of 2020. Good to see the auto business pick back up.
That is it for today. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/30/20 07:25 by jayman.    Date: 07/30/20 10:01 Re: Izaak Walton July Trip Author: upbuddyboy Very nice...makes one feels like he’s been there👍
Posted from iPhone Date: 07/30/20 11:40 Re: Izaak Walton July Trip Author: bmarti7 Nice bunch of shots!. Regarding the oil cans, they are still running the Bakken crude to Anacortes, WA regularly as there are no piplines west out of the Bakken fields in ND.

That Empire Builder was quite a long train. I wonder if a bunch of those cars were deadheading to storage? Or, is that train actually doing well ridership-wise. Date: 07/30/20 13:16 Re: Izaak Walton July Trip Author: jayman Topfuel Wrote:
