BNSF Coal Empty DPU

NS 736 - DPU

Having met the east bound local 8896 and train are back on the main and gliding past MP508. -8896 happens to be one of those 'howler' EMDs with a loud turbocharger..I could hear her leaving Keenseburg and coming over the divide well before seeing her through the fog!!

In snow and dense fog the westbound 8896 and train have pulled into the Keenseburg siding to await the passing of the eastbound local. They will keep those tank cars company for the time being.
