Railfan Exchange II: Part 15, Grandview Missouri 9-4-00


Srovets asked:


Today on my daily walk, I got a special treat. I BNSF unit coal train pulled up from the north and stopped. The engine on the head end decoupled and came past me, then after a series of switching moves, some KCS power lashed on to the BNSF engine and coupled onto the train and took off. Not only were there units on the front, but some on the rear pushing as well (distributed power). It is interesting to see railroaders at work doing what they do everyday.
