Thought a few would find this of interest. In my travels yesterday in western Nevada spotted 5, 8axle, heavy duty flat cars with loads at Wunotoo, NV – MP 260.2. This is the spur that serves Sierra Pacific Power Company’s Tracy power plant, which is located on Union Pacific’s Nevada Sub between Patrick (MP 257.3) and Clark, Nevada (262.1). <br /> <br />Three of the five flats belonging to TTX; QTTX 131030, QTTX 131034 and QTTX 131039 – the other two are Kasgro “Red’n Ready” flats; KRL 70925 and KRL 70946. <br /> <br />The flats are loaded with five Wartsila Natural Gas internal combustion engines, one per car. Each engine/generator set will develop 8.2 MWs and will be a part of Barrick’s Western 102 Power Project which is now under construction at McCarran, NV about a ½ mile east on Waltham Way from where the flats are spotted. Once completed, this project will have 14 of these engine/generator sets. <br /> <br />The loads were set out at Wunotoo Thursday night, June 9th. Unloading of these 5 rail flats is scheduled to begin Monday June 13, 2005. It should be a real show. <br /> <br />Follow this link for 3 photos of the loaded cars: <br /> <br />[url]http://ll-photo3.home.att.net/Wartsila.htm[/url] <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV MP 236 <br />
