Filmed 2/17/14 I don't think this train knows what it is. It's on the BNSF, but it's a Norfolk Southern train with Union Pacific power. Anyway, late Monday afternoon, Chris (844Train) picked me up and we went north to BNSF's Marceline Sub in Eton and Sibley. Eton is where the triple track mains of BNSF's Marceline and UP's River Subs split and the two roads go their separate ways. This location is five miles or so east of the spot in Sugar Creek, MO I frequently go to. At this location, the trains have a much higher speed limit. This one is not doing the 70mph limit, but I have more coming from this area, and they are. This is my first time going here, I've heard about it for years and years, but never got out there to see it. Come to find out, it's closer than Sugar Creek and again, FAST trains... lots of fast trains. So, I will be going back. But this was the first train we filmed that day and I think it had a bit of an identity crisis. An NS train, with UP power, on BNSF trackage. The railroad version of MPD I guess... ---------------------------- Chris' account: http://www.youtube.com/user/844Train deviantART page: http://up9229.deviantart.com/ Train club account: http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freelanced_Model_Railroads/
