QUOTE: Originally posted by miniwyo It looked like the side of the straddle buggy. Except the part on top of the cross piece that is supported by the wheels was on bottom, and the part on bottom wasn't there. And yes only 60. It was on the back of a semi truck. and we were all fighting about a 45-50 mph headwind.

QUOTE: Originally posted by miniwyo I had to drive about 600 miles today and I saw somthing wierd on the back of a truck on a lowboy flatbed trailer, It had 2 wheels, they looked like the kind of tire you would find on a front end loader, and they are in a straight line. I bet it was probably about 15 feet tall, and looked like it was used for lifting things. I am assuming that it was used with TOFC as it had TOFC painted on it, right above the UP logo. Does anyone know what it is? Also, How much do high winds affect trains? Do they have to use more power to keep a speed while fighting the wind? And also I FINALLY got to see a BNSF Heritage 2 locomotive. It was a SD60 (I think) and it was tucked in behind 2 UP SD70s on an eastbound stack train. Also, Congratulations to spbed on making 3 stars!!!
