This train had earlier completed some work upon arrival into the BNSF Dilworth, MN train yard before getting a new crew, which is now leading the train seen here.

Does this train get broken apart and reshuffled at Grand Forks, since that's the termination point? Or does most of it continue intact west toward Minot and the High Line? Some of the consist (reefers, empty centerbeams) could indicate the latter. Or maybe there's just a lot of business radiating out of GF toward Winnepeg and far northern ND and MN? I didn't notice any sugar airslides in the consist though. |
