Western Railroad Discussion > CSXT on the KP!Date: 10/31/24 07:00 CSXT on the KP! Author: santafe199 A couple of weeks ago we had a train of special-duty flats come across the KP. I never did get the full scoop on what they were for. But that didn’t stop me from giving chase. It’s still a bit of a treat to get foreign power on the point...
1. CSXT 313 leads a train of specialty flats out of St Marys, KS. 2. The 313 is now coming over the Swamp Angel crossing east of Manhattan, KS. 3. And one more look from the 56th St overpass just east of Ogden, KS. 3 photos taken October 16, 2024. Thanks for the heads-up! Lance Garrels santafe199 Date: 10/31/24 07:13 Re: CSXT on the KP!

Looks like empty wind turbine blade cars. I think I remember reading that there's a facility north of Denver that produces wind turbine blades, so these may be headed back west for loadinhg.

Hi Bob... That thought did cross my mind. I guess these are a different style than what I've seen in the past. And thanks for filling in the destination. I had no idea where this train was headed...

Good luck putting blades on the cars that are showing. Those look nothing like the blade cars we handle. Posted from Android |
