UP 1988 "The Katy" Heritage Unit leads MITBO down BNSF's Hinckley Subdivision!
Рет қаралды 1,362
7 ай бұрынOn a rainy spring-*cough* I mean, December afternoon, UP 1988 has a real head scratcher train behind it. MITBO, potash for Boone, IA. Loaded or empty, I'm not sure.
I got a timely heads up but only checked at the last minute so I ended up running as fast as possible to the tracks, arriving with mere seconds to spare. No time for the tripod.
I believe it's been almost 3 years since the last trip this made up to the Hinckley

I've seen a lot of the CP heritage units, including other things like the CN veterans unit, and the childhood cancer unit (orange one) I've also seen a lot of ex-atsf stuff, lots of b40-8Ws when I was younger, only recently did I realize what I was seeing in 12-17 are things many of us will never see again. When I was 4 I didn't know, but now I do.

Does this portion of the Hinkley get both UP and CP run through traffic? Seems like in a lot of your videos there’s quite a few UP and CP symboled trains in the same spot.

Yup, BNSF, UP & CP operate the entire stretch, BNSF owns it.

As far as I know, MITBO isn’t a symbol. Also, if it’s potash I’m pretty sure the symbol wouldn’t be a manifest

Well it was MITBO. I've caught some weird unit train symbols going south down my line with "M" as the first letter, perhaps a storage move?
