Nice looking baretable train
Author: MtVernon_Tower

Rare BNSF power (for this route) was crossing the Feather River and hiway 70 at Tobin, Ca. back in December of 1999. My guess is that the trailers were on their way to Los Angeles for the holiday crunch.

I thought I would see intermodal cars with nothing on them.
Maybe I don't understand the term "baretable"?

BNSF symbols trains loaded with all empty trailers and or containers being repositioned as a B or Baretable train. Nice catch.

BNSF runs baretables all the time that are loaded with empty trailers or containers. They are labeled as a B4, such as the B PHXLAC4 xxA, the whole train is empty JB Hunt containers. It also runs as a B PHXLAC4 xxH, 
with the H for Hunt.

On BNSF, a bare table train usually meant a solid train of empty flats, but I've had "baretable" B symbol trains that were solid empty trailers too.
