| Post subject: | Holy Coal Train |
I had a business meeting in St. Cloud this mornig at 10:00, so the opportunity to railfan the Staples sub made me bring the camera. Glad I did. Here's alist of the trains in order that I saw them. BNSF 9991 SD70MAC loaded coal waiting to get into NSP Becker. BNSF 9847 SD70MAC East bound Manifest train just west of Becker BNSF ???? East bound loaded coal. (No Pic) BNSF 5685 AC4400CW East bound loaded coal just west of the Amtrak Station in St. Cloud. This is the one with reporting marks of PSTX BNSF 7795 ES44DC East bound grain train through Sartell BNSF xxxx West bound empty coal (No Pic) BNSF 8902 SD70MAC West bound empty coal just west of Sartell BNSF 8255 SD75M East bound loaded coal again just west of Becker. On my way home now. BNSF 4657 Dash9 Maifest waiting on the main between Elk River and Big Lake I could see another set of headlights on the other main and when I got down far enough towards Elk River I could see coal cars. (No Pic) So a total of 7 coal trains. No telling how many I missed during my three hour meeting. The PICS in this album are in the order that I saw them. |
