Norfolk Southern on the BNSF  Contributor's Pick!       
NS 8386 cuts the Route "C" grade crossing at Peruque MO in March 2009. This appears to be the NS' Des Moines train, which uses trackage rights over the BNSF Hannibal SUb out of St. Louis. It will run to Burlington and then continue west on the BNSF to Albia before going on home rails for the last lap to the Iowa capital.

Olaf Junges General Good shot! 3/21/2009 8:06:22 PM
Pat Scott General This was probably H MEMNTW, which often runs with NS power out of Memphis. There is no NS Des Moines trackage rights train. The Des Moines traffic is hauled by BNSF, but there is no train that actually goes to Des Moines on the BNSF from NS. 9/8/2009 9:19:47 PM
