Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF in McCook, NebraskaDate: 03/16/26 19:08 BNSF in McCook, Nebraska Author: CrossTieWalker BNSF Railway train U-MQRCNR1-06R heads east through McCook, and transitions from the railway’s Akron Sub to the Hastings Sub … and, as it does, also from the Mountain Time Zone to the Central Time Zone.
BNSF AC4400CW 5713 powers this train, consisting of 27 cars loaded with welded rail heading from Minnequa, Colorado, to Conrad, Oklahoma. (McCook, Nebraska – March 9, 2026) Craig Walker photograph  Date: 03/16/26 19:47 Re: BNSF in McCook, Nebraska Author: bmarti7 Nice catch!

Joel Poland Columbus, NE Date: 03/17/26 05:03 Re: BNSF in McCook, Nebraska Author: 3rdswitch That is a nice catch. Saw this train pass through Palmer Lake, CO, on the Joint Line. Two things different, a single unit on a loaded rail train is unusual BY HERE, and, who owns those blue cars? Have never seen them on BNSF before, normally the brown BNSF cars?

Date: 03/17/26 08:00 Re: BNSF in McCook, Nebraska Author: CrossTieWalker The cars carried a VSR reporting mark.
So ... they are owned by the V & S Rwy. LLC. (Valley & Siletz Railroad Co.)? Or is there a new owner of that mark?
