U-TOPHUT5-04 |
Description: |
BNSF is again testing power consists on the La Junta sub west of Newton, KS. A few years ago, BNSF conducted fuel consumption tests with loads of concrete ties on the La Junta Sub. Now they are testing tractive effort on locomotives. On September 4th, BNSF sent a train out of Topeka with BNSF 5375 & 5759 for power pulling test cars 82 & 83 along with 10 empty coal hoppers. The train ran from Topeka to Hutchinson and the U-TOPHUT5-04. When it got to Hutchinson, it was scheduled to be the W-HUTHUT1-06 on the 6th and for several days after that. It is making test runs between Newton & Hutchinson with those empty coal hoppers and a few other cars along with the test cars. Info from Sean Graham-White. |

A very late KCKEMP |
Description: |
Well, they try to run this train out of Argentine in the afternoons, but it doesn't always get much priority getting out of there. Even if it does come out, Amtrak #3 can kill it at Topeka sometimes, and therefore, you end up with scenes like this, with the KCKEMP rolling out in the late morning. |

El Diablo meets #3 |
Description: |
Well, after 18 years of being out on the road, I finally caught El Diablo. It's the trailing unit on the M-KCKEMP, which had to tie down, and leave their train on the siding, affording me this view of it from 11th St. in Lawrence, KS. The light was so generously provided by an early-arriving Amtrak #3. For those of you not familiar with the nickname, its due to the fact that this unit was delivered as the ATSF 666, and later renumbered to the 599 following a number of complaints. |
