BNSF 7098 Leads KCS OKCAL26 |
| Description: |
A KCS yard job has just pulled Kansas City, MO to Alliance, TX sand train OKCAL26 off the fuel pad and down to the depot at Heavener, OK where the train will remain for the remainder of the day. BNSF ES44C4 7098, BNSF C44-9W 4850, and BNSF C44-9W 4930 power this train on the head while KCS SD70MACs 3918 and 3943 have been added to the rear of this 100 car train for the climb over Rich Mountain. Loaded with frac sand this train originated at US Silica on the CP at Sparta, WI. From there the CP handed the train off to the KCS at Kansas City, MO, the KCS will give the train to the BNSF at Alliance, TX and the Fort Worth Western will take the train from the BNSF at Saginaw, TX and deliver it to customer TSS LLC's transload facility at Barnhart, TX. This particular train will spend the rest of the day here for Fort Worth Western train spacing. Ahead of this train is another sand train holding at Copeville, TX while another is ahead of that train on the Forth Worth Western. |
