A fast moving BNSF H train lead by an Oakway SD60 and a Montana Rail Link SD45. Always such colorful motive power on the BNSF.

...the VIA rail spiderman train.

[Glen Ellyn]

Today I saw on a BNSF line in West Chicago yard york on a line that dead ends from Illinois 38. (Roosevelt rd.) Seeing this is rare because...

1. Their traffic is early in the morning and at night.
2. The railroad line dead-ends just a mile northeast of Roosevelt road.
3. I have been trying since 1999 to see a train on that line.

Just saw a bit of BNSF motive power in UP's Colton yard in SoCal. I heard BNSF was going to help take some of the load of UP because of track damage from recent storms, but it was still weird to see War Pumpkins and a few old GP35 Blue Bonnets in the yard!

Last year, the Utah Transportation Authority (UTA) purchased a number of Metra double deckers in coach and cab car configuration for use on the upcoming "commuter rail" trains. UTA also bought, or leased, the UP shops in the North Salt Lake Yard. Currently, the commuter cars are parked in three rows behind the shops and are visible from the 600 North overpass. A local news station did a story on the Metra cars noting that they were purchased back in the days when businessmen went to work dressed in suits. UTA's commuter rail is scheduled to start in 2007.

An abandoned Alco RS 3 in PRR authentic paint, rusting away on a Conrail sideing. It was pretty cool but, it upseat me to see once such a fine locomotive totally trashed. If I had the money I would restore her. This is my first Alco sighting of 2005!!!!!!

Thats odd, on a long Union PAcific train in West Chicago heading west, second to the last car was an old METRA passenger car. On your BNSF train did you happen to catch the number on the car?

There are three of the old orange striped Metra bi-levels now at Burnham shops here in Denver with UP reporting marks (UP 904XXX series). They are mixed in with the RGEX rolling stock and the big hooks on the west side of the shops near Denver Water's HQ.

Well this is what I saw.

On Monday I saw the new UP coal hoppers with the "Omaha Route" CMO reporting marks on them. Strange thing was that they were on the BNSF westbound through Louisville, NE.

Metra must be retiring some of the ex-CNW bi-level commuter cars (some date to the mid-1950's). The week before Christmas I saw two of those coaches on a stub track near the interchange point between UP and CP just south of the Metra Clybourn station at Armitage and Ashland on Chicago's north side. I also saw one in the UP yard s. of North Avenue and I-90/94.

What town were the CNW bi-levs in?

i have seen those old RTA "Metra" coaches near Clybourn too. They have been there every so often since mid-summer. Anyone know where they're going. the only two places i can think of, where there is new commuter service starting, the Twin Cities and Nashville.
