Lunch: Wednesday 10/26

by Aaron Hockley

No pictures today, but I did see a few trains. I started out down at 8th street where a grain train was being recrewed. Power was three H2 Dash 9 units (BNSF 5470, 4827, 5372).

As I drove up to the center, one of the yard jobs was shoving a sizable cut of cars (30-ish) down over the hill around 5mph and consequently tying up everything. The dispatcher did a good job of poising things to get moving once he cleared, and once he was off the diamonds the next two movements started coming through: a northbound UP stack train (UP 3822, 4018, 4371) and a short cut of cars that needed to pull out from the middle lead and to the back track. After a few minutes the Camas turn returned and got held up at 8th street.

I drove up to the shops and found some variety… BNSF 877, 5175, 345, and RLMX 8595. Sitting at 39th street was the H-EVEBAR9 with BNSF 4742, 4664, and 795. And back to work I went.
