Not what you usually see on the point of a roadrailer. This BNSF led train heads for Granite City and beyond as the track zooms by.

BNSF 5914 is stopped about a half-mile west of Bellevue. Apparently train was having trouble with their DPUs. BNSF 8261, with its work train, pulls up behind BNSF 9747, the engineer hops off 8261 and helps the crew on 5914 get their DPUs working again.
