Here in AZ, you have UP and the BNSF. They have thier own routes, own yards all on different ends of the state. In fact, the only way the connect is a 5 mile section of track the connects the two yards. They pretty much stay on there turf as far as I have seen. Maybe back east or in other parts, with more systems overlapping, it would be easier for power shareing to take place. With the UP here, it is pretty much pure yellow and grey with the exception of some poor abused SP unit. Maybe some leased engine. With BNSF it is not uncommonm to see out of state vistors that come down the line from Flagstaff off the TransCon into Phoenix. I have seen some NS and even a couple of KCS's too John k Best Regards, Big John Kiva Valley Railway- Freelanced road in central Arizona.

(West Central Fla). Back home in Texas (Ft Worth) , I see BNSF on UP and vice versa quite often.

Regards Gary Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts UP vs BNSF power on loan Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 9:55 PM Just watching the Rochelle web cam,..I notice that you very seldom see BNSF power on a UP train, ...nor do you often see UP power on the BNSF ... Yet, it's not at all uncommon to see either CSX or NS power on either..... Is this pretty much the norm throughout their respective systems, or just an anomalie peculiar to these 2 lines?
