Leaving the town of Old Monroe after meeting a Nb Empty grain train.
BNSF 9986 leads this empty UCEX coal train north in to Old Monroe, Mo. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub., its great seeing a pair of Macs instead of a pair of Gevos.

The coal train was longer than the siding, so the mixed freight couldn't get through. They had to wait for the coal train to clear the switch before they could proceed.
Very interesting weathering on the nose. I might try to simulate that on a model SD70MAC sometime soon.
DPU for a long coal train rolling through Irving.
Empty coal from the UE plant at Rush Island.
