On January 20th, 2014, I watched trains for a couple hours in Ottumwa, Iowa. I caught this westbound freight, a BNSF oil train, passing through downtown shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The train features two Norfolk Southern locomotives on the point, NS 8013 (ES44AC) and NS 1086 (SD70ACe), along with a Union Pacific unit, UP 5379 (ES44AC). NS units are frequently seen on BNSF oil trains as they are often interchanged with the NS in the east. Many of Norfolk Southern's heritage units have been on these trains as well, but so far I've yet to see one. Still, it's a nice change from the usual BNSF power you see through here.
