SDP45! |
| Description: |
Eola is where the EJ&E hands off coal trains to BNSF, and one of these trains is sitting here. Normally EJ&E units power these trains, but today two of the three HLCX units on lease to the J were used. The leader was an ex-EL SDP45, now rebuilt to SD40-2 specs but still possessing the external features of the unit built for the EL (they chose the passenger version for a longer frame, giving greater fuel capacity). Unfortunately, this is as far as I could go without trespassing. Check out that monster tank car on the right. |

| Title: |
NPCX 209 |
| Description: |
NPCX 209 was on the BNSF main line near Alpha, IL on 12-18-2011. Note the lack of a dome, the red-and-white safety/Haz-mat placard with DoT code 1038. This car is lettered for Ethylene Refrigerated Liquid service. Various welding marks or "beads" are visible in a staggered pattern, perhaps to enhance the structure and safety of the car and cargo. |
