P&W power on coal train |
| Description: |
In 2006, the Goudy station in Johnson City NY did a test burn of import coal that came in via Providence RI. The train originated on the Providence & Worcester, whose power ran through to Binghamton. There were four of these trains. Here we see one of the trains passing the northbound home signals at CPF 587 |

Backing onto NS |
| Description: |
The P&W originated coal train has arrived at BD and is now backing its train onto NS for delivery to the Goudy power plant in Johnson City. P&W 4002 should feel right at home here. It was NYSW 4002 in a previous life. |

Southbound |
| Description: |
A southbound BN train on the Ft Scott Sub rolls out of Kansas City, through Olathe. At Paola, the shared track with MKT will end, each road going its own way, BN toward Springfiled MO and Tulsa, MKT toward Muskogee and Texas. At the time, there was only I 35, the tracks, and a local road that ran along through Lenexa and Olathe. Its changed in 30 years! |

Pure BN |

The merger with Santa Fe was still news when I took these. I had to wait for dispatch after dropping a container at Clyde yard in Cicero. I hated the sitting at the time, but it was a good chance to capture a road whose image would soon fade. |

Fuel tender |
| Description: |
BN, and subsequently, BNSF, have tried fuel tenders at various times. BNs effort in the 80s was to extend the distances between fueling stops, and modified several tanks so they could fuel while en route. One of the tender sets is pulling this 66 car eastbound through Hoffman Av as it starts down the river toward La Crosse. As an added bonus, the leader is one of the BN tiger stripe units. The power is otherwise notable in that the two GP 50's and cabless B30-7A represent common road power in the era before 6 axle units took over everything. |
