Mid train helpers |
| Description: |
In the 1980s before DPUs were invented, it was unusual to see mid train units. Santa Fe was using these on a westbound coal train passing the station at Barstow. Theyd be put to good use on the upcoming ride through Cajon. |

Pig train for Portland |
| Description: |
I had just dropped a container at Cicero on the BN. After dropping, I bobtailed the truck out to Berwyn and waited for my next assignment. While I was sitting there, here comes the train headed west. About midway back in the train, amid all the other JB Hunt boxes, was the one I had just dropped. Wave good bye.... |
