Lone Leaders . . .
Author: SCKP187

Out Monday 22nd on the UP Wagoner Sub with little activity, but the trains I did catch were both single units and no DPUs

1. UP 9034 GS5GSO mt grain headed for Iowa at Oologah OK--looked like it recently got re-numbered with new patches on each side of the cab

2. UP 8349 MMUCV-X junk manifest block made up at Muskogee being moved to Coffeyville at Talala OK

Thanks for looking
Brian Stevens

Thanks for posting. Carload traffic is down it seems. Guess a single unit helps. How many coal trains are you seeing these days?

Only a couplie coal trains a week now. Used to see close to 7 a day a few years ago.
The 1 regular coal train goes to Riesel TX. Sporatically there will be 1 for Newark AR and White Bluff AR
