Empty frack sand train this afternoon |
|

Posted by Dave on Fri Aug 29 22:30:13 2014 BNSF/KCS/CP jointly pull a frack sand train 2-3x per week into and out of Saginaw, TX where there is a loading facility. This afternoon I heard on the scanner that an empty sand train would be passing by my house. Once I heard the train receive clearance I headed up to the park near my house for some shots.Lead unit was a leased CEFX AC4400CW 1049, built to CP Rail specifications on a long-term lease, followed by a KCS SD70ACe in Grey Ghost livery:   A friendly conductor gives us a wave:   The load was about 70 empties. No DPU since the train was not heavy. The pattern has been to bring a loaded train down with two units on the points and two DPU's, then break it up into to trains each pulling 60 - 70 empty cars back:  |
