There was a shipper with a spur took cars right next door to the carbon plant called Asbury Graphite. They are gone now, too. My guess is they might have supplied stuff for maintaning the pipeline to that other plant?

Date: 09/02/25 20:37 Re: Hercules, CA: BNSF Fakebonnet Trailing At Collier Author: phthithu I think it indicates post-merger Warbonnet. I'm not great on paint scheme names and trying to follow what I've seen elsewhere. Hopefully someone better versed in the names can tell us options on what to call this scheme.
