Western Railroad Discussion > 1x2 Galveston, TX --to-- Warren, MN loaded unit fertilizer train.Date: 04/21/24 12:01 1x2 Galveston, TX --to-- Warren, MN loaded unit fertilizer train. Author: jmulhol2 An 85-car eastbound Galveston, TX ("ADM Grain Co." facility) --to-- Warren, MN ("CHS Inc." facility) loaded unit fertilizer train -- mostly made up of white "GATX" three-bay covered hopper cars -- in a 1x2 power configuration is seen here slowly entering the far west end of the BNSF Grand Forks, ND, train yard during a heavy graupel (i.e., soft, mushy hail) shower amid the blustery late morning hours of 04/19/2024. This train was told to tie down on the "passenger main" track and contact the "Power Desk" to potentially leave one of their three total motors in the yard. A later outbound crew would eventually be called out to untie this train and continue onward eastbound into Minnesota.

Nice video in some strange weather.
