One up one down. MWQMDMO and M DMOWQM. Also some grain trains to Pleasant Hill. The way things are going you will see the UP and down train in daylight. Branch is 10 mph most of the way.

I guess if I get lucky, then. I'll be close to the mainline, so if I get bored we could always go down there, too...

BNSF Des Moines Sub Activity

Posted by SchemerBob on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 8:29 PM

I am planning on being along the BNSF Des Moines subdivision (Albia, IA to Des Moines) this weekend, and I was just curious about how many trains go on that line per day. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
