BNSF Crane Move on the Ottumwa Sub
Author: Agent

I happened to catch a westbound move on the BNSF Ottumwa Sub of a Burlington Northern crane today.  I heard it clear Ottumwa at 12:50 PM.  I think it sounded like it was heading for near Albia, but it didn't sound like there was a set plan on what was going to be done there.

1) Dash 9 BNSF 4105 leads the short westbound train into Agency, Iowa on the eastbound track.

2) BN 975432.

3) Going-away shot of the train.

Looks like the first car is carrying a pile driver attachment for the crane.
