QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan Yesterday (Easter Sunday) and today I was out at Eola yard at about 3:30 p.m. and in came (both days) a really long taconite unit train with (also both days) two Dash-9's up front pulling and one in the back pushing. This two sightings are the first I have ever seen here and I am told by some of my railfanning buddies that any sort of DP powered train through Eola is very rare and perhaps indicates a problem somewhere else on the BNSF and that they are detouring the taconite trains somehow. The two trains I saw came into Eola and were put onto the "running track" but I did not see where they went from here or when. Anybody care to speculate?
