Orion VIII Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Saw a brand new GE completed at GE's plant in Erie, PA on Thursday. It was too hidden for me to see its number, anyone who's ever been there will agree that it's considerably harder to spot locomotives at than at EMD in London, ON.

BusRider Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 BNSF keeps running, even through floods and high water. It doesn't look to safe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 9, 2010 Board Admin Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have a few BNSF shots from a road trip last May with a couple of other members from the board! Will have to get around to posting them sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CN7066 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 BNSF keeps running, even through floods and high water. It doesn't look to safe to me. As long as the water isn't over the top of the railhead, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbdb Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't have much training in civil/geotechnical engineering but I would think liquefaction of the saturated soil under the rail would be a risk given the weight and vibration of a passing train.

That's why they don't use soil under the rail. But the track has obviously been inspected and deemed safe to operate over. It's not like the train comes along, the crew crosses their fingers and pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 During my recent trip from Calgary to Great Falls, Montana, I spotted Ferromex 4648 running behind BNSF 4902 at Sweetgrass, Montana. Is this common to find Ferromex power running with BNSF? I have attached a couple of images of 4902 and Ferromex 4648. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more common on UP, but they get around BNSF as well, just usually not that far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if anything that it would be rare for one to get this far north... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this common to find Ferromex power running with BNSF? I have attached a couple of images of 4902 and Ferromex 4648. Its common for Ferromex to owe both BNSF and UP power hours back for their units running through into mexico on through trains. Also its common to find the Ferromex units running on BNSF and UP to runthrough on through trains on CSX and NS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 A rather rare spotting this past Saturday at the Alyth yard in S.E. Calgary, Alberta was BNSF #8976 operating with a couple of CP Rail GE's. 8976 did depart later on that day on a southbound consist. http://www.flickr.com/photos/vehicle-images/9077820017/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASzy Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 BNSF Rescues Amtrak once again. Shot from the Virtual Railfan camera in Galesburg, Illinois. Speaking of, I have recently been seeing Norfolk Southern foreign power on BNSF. Also a lucky shot someone got in which a nuclear waste cask was being carried through Elkhart, Indiana. Not sure who was carrying that cask, but pretty sure BNSF scored this unusual load considering BNSF carries fuselages for Boeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASzy Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Springfield BNSF Railyard had a rather interesting two-way. A stopped intermodal was being passed by an eastbounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASzy Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Foreign Power or Power move? Third clip in video. Two BNSF, Ferromex (Likely that's foreign power), CSX (What?), KCS lines (Common in Springfield, Missouri), Union Pacific (Not surprised), and Union Pacific Maintenence speeder in the middle of the train (What?)

ASzy Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Video is in fact loaded with BNSF stuff. Friday, just two days after the "Interesting Meet" in which an eastbound BNSF freight was passing a stationary intermodal, the railyard in Springfield was COMPLETELY empty.

ASzy Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 CN operating a locomotive in Springfield MO. It'd been hanging out here for some time, it was probably taken off of a train somewhere else because it had something faulty and they towed it to Springfield BNSF to fix it. The engine, a GE ES44AH, later departed going east toward Saint Louis. Other BNSF sightings: Normally I don't see switch sets on the crossing near my house, but that is what has happened three times now. Once, an ex-BN White-cab being tailed by a standard BNSF Post-merger scheme engine wearing H2 or H3, and the BN leading. Carrying a few centerbeam flats with lumber loads for Contech and the other place. No lights, though they were booted and running. Second time, different set. Ex-BN blacktop unit was trailing a BNSF H3 engine, leading a few centerbeams. And a trailer car or two. Third time was the Ex-BN Whitecab unit again trailed by the H3 geep. They were light-power.
