For anyone that doesn't know the Colorado Joint Line is pretty diverse, not just strings of coal hoppers. <br /> <br />Every week or so there is a string of covered hoppers (ASHX) parked on the line south of the Denver yards. I assume I am seeing filled cars from the plains on their way to some processing before going overseas or they are empties coming back. I also see emtpy intermodal flat cars, but again I only see them parked so I don't know where they originated or where they are going. <br /> <br />I have also spotted a weekly run of a BNSF mixed train from the south. It usually comprises of box cars, including insulated plug doors if I remember correctly and usually ends in a string of tankers, I believe carrying petrolium products. <br /> <br />If anyone can shed some light on where the above originates and where it is going that would be great. <br /> <br />Lastly I have seen a UP lashed up to a BNSF head unit pointed south on a BNSF coal run. Is this a borrowed unit? I have the number written down somewhere if it would help. <br /> <br />Thanks <br /> <br />furmano
