RIP MRL
(Preview)
BNSF annouce they are going to "resume service" over the ex-NP Laurel MT to Sandpoint ID mainline that the Montana Rail Link operated in name. The MRL got to do all the grunt work of getting BNSF trains over several passes in Montana and making money doing it. Time to cutout the middleman. Prior to the MR...

BNSF derailment at Cables near Tehachapi
(Preview)
Plenty to read on TO about the derailment but this video pretty much all you need to see/know. Venus in retrograde. Delayed trains means lost dollars and big fix-it projects. Last TO post says UP sneaked a Z-train past the derailment late Thursday night but its fast and furious efforts to get line ope...

Derailment on the Clovis Sub
(Preview)
"Derailment" putting it mildly. Try a 100+car train derailing at 70mph and what you get is an 80 car derailment/pile-up. This on the BNSF southern transcon/ATSF tracks near "Nowhere" NM. Someone mentioned a X-over at the location of the derailment. Others mentioned some Xmas packages that might n...

BNSF wreck near Omaha Pjct-KCY line
(Preview)
It appears to be a "rear ender". The TV new videos very poor in showing the derailment mess. One member of TO familiar with BNSF operating practices on this line mentioned its common/daily that trains get permission to park behind train ahead. Busy E-W Jct ahead and trains get backed-up so they park th...

Flooding on the BNSF Sumas Sub
(Preview)
Today another video posted of the flood damage at Sumas Wa. Instead of the 6-cars derailed in earlier reports looks more like 20. Derailed by raging flood waters just sitting in the yard. It may be a while before BNSF crews can get to Sumas. Have no idea how the line faired from Sedro Woolley to Sumas but s...

It you ever watched the Madison IA VR cam the set of tracks closest to the camera is the BNSF K-Line from Burlington IA to St. Louis that runs right along the shore of the Mighty Mississip. I bet this train crew never thought they would hit a "barge over the tracks". Loose barge ends up obstructing the trac...

BNSF Interbay Roundhouse...going..going....GONE!

Uke might be turning in his grave with this news. I first visited Interbay Roundhouse in 1971 and took a lot of pictures. Numerous visits up until mid-1980's. Interbay the GN/BN/BNSF "Seattle Shangrila" for a large collection of motive power in one place. In the early 70's you went to the Interbay Rou...
