I caught an east bound loaded BNSF coal train coming though St. Cloud today. The hoppers were fairly new and still rather shiney with the green square in the corner. 99% of the train had reporting marks of PSTX. I'm having a hard time finding a reference that makes sense. Any body have any idea?? |

I'm guessing that there must have been a derailment somewhere in Nebraksa or Iowa. My dad said that, in addition to the PSTX train, there was also an eastbound COMX/EXEX/FURX coal load, two (possibly three) COLX trains going various ways, and one DAPX that went through town today (although the last two are normal). |

PSTX also is listed as Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company along with that Joseph Transportation. Neither of these made much sense to me which is why I was wondering. I was up the Staples sub today as far as Sartell and I saw 7 coal trains so it's really plausible that reroutes are happening. |

The time line for the PSTX reporting mark PSTX Puget Sound Pulp & Timber Co. 1/1950-4/1961 PSTX Georgia-Pacific Corp. eliminated 10/1964 PSTX David J. Joseph Co. added 4/1999; eliminated 4/2000 PSTX Joseph Transportation Inc. added 4/2000; 7/2000; eliminated 10/2003 PSTX The David J. Joseph Co. added 10/2003; 7/2005 The Joseph Transportation company name I have seen before on gondolas so it must be a leasing company. |
