Went up to the Transcon just outside of Atherton, MO this passed Sunday.  First time I've been there since last summer.  They've repaved the roads out there, pretty nice drive now, not the super bumpy, out in the middle of nowhere, farmland USA county roads.  But, this isn't about the roads.  :D

I missed the very first train that went by right after I got there, I was getting things lined up camera wise and it snuck up on me from the west.. BNSF GEVOs leading a stacker.  But the first train I did film had a Ferromex SD70ACe in consist on a BNSF intermodal.  Ferromex is odd enough, but it being on a train like that is not normal at all.  BNSF doesn't like using AC powered units on their intermodals, stackers and pig trains, oh yeah, it was also flying down the track too.

Second Train was was UP out of LA heading east to Chicago, and the last train in this part (yes, there will be part two next Wednesday) was an eastbounder and was the longest of all the trains I filmed that day. I would go as far as to say it was two double stack trains combined into one.  Four units leading with two more pushing to me screams "two trains in one."

That's it for now, part two next Wednesday and something from the club this Sunday.  Still not sure what yet, but there will be something.  In the mean time, thanks for watching and see you next time!
