Western Railroad Discussion > UP empty coal runningDate: 01/04/21 12:35 UP empty coal running Author: tomstp On the Kearney web cam a empty coal train, or should I say "trains" (2 OR 3) went flying thru town running right at 60 mph. It took 3 min 25 seconds of what seemed like forever for it to pass. Power as 2+3+1. Looking at something that fast, that long, that close, kinda mesmerizes you.
