Thank You

I would assume you're speaking of the black and yellow unit. The black and yellow unit is WRIX 9917 (Ex PRLX 9917) it recently received a rebuild from Western Rail inc. From what I understand it is headed for a 5 year lease and is currently in testing before being handed over to the a lessee. I have seen this a couple of other times on POVA.

Most ask, is there a set schedule or what, I was originally planning on spending the weekend in Helena but I might have to work Friday so if I do I’m going to take a day trip to Spokane and Sandpoint tomorrow.

@@signaltodeparture POVA operates on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, tri weekly operation. Hope that helps.

Hey, I cant speak for all, but I can tell you personally it took me several years of research when I was younger to find out what these were for. Yes, the first car is indeed a buffer car. It is required that all trains carrying hazardous tank cars such as this train that carries Gasoline and Diesel have at least one car between the locomotives and the hazardous cars. Most of the time there are specific cars utilized as buffer cars and are not to be used as anything but. From what I have been told these cars are normally filled with sand, or some other material.

Indeed, I caught the MAC Duo on Wednesday night. Also saw it with the executive unit back in May. Yes, the trestle east of Superior is a very nice spot, I knew there was going to be a eastbound passing in Superior so I wanted to catch both with a shot of the station sign on the M-O-W shop. I will make sure and watch your video when it comes out.

Thanks Nick, I got out of video editing for a while, I have dozens of videos that need edited and posted from the past few months.

Yes, not sure where to.

This was probably a once in a lifetime catch for me. I will probably never see this again.

I assume you mean on MMT, not BNSF, and the answer is 2. MMT has 2 EMD GP39-2s numbered 3942, and 3946.

You will see the other one in today's video.

@@NWFProductions Yes I Mean MMT

As far as I know, both 3946 and 3942 were built in early 1976. Both were originally employed by the Delaware and Hudson.@@johnniebellamy5912

Yes it was!

Thanks

Thank You

Ya, she was a nice change for a while. Now we're back to just H4 Geeps.

The covered hoppers are in storage. However, Mission Mountain has been extensively reducing the number of stored cars along the right of way. Last time I checked there are now only 3 cars in storage. 2 Months ago there were well over 150.

Thank You

Without your help I would have not been able to get a schedule put together, so thank you.

@@NWFProductions You're welcome

Thank You

Indeed it is, this Subdivision is almost all 90-pound rail stamped 1922 and 1923.

This train came down the BNSF's Sweet Grass Subdivision from the Canadian border before turning west onto BNSF to head to the west coast. When I say it's a "Canadian Grainer" I mean the train originated in Canada.

I know this is 8 months old but I have to ask: how exactly did this train turn West on BNSF trackage? I'd assume they ran the train off the Sweetgrass sub into Shelby and either swapped the power around or ran it through the balloon track on the East end of the yard that serves the CHS elevator to turn the train around since trains arrive in Shelby from Sweetgrass facing East and this train is clearly facing West.

Thank You, this is actually the first time I have seen a UP Special Interest Unit, so pretty cool.

The first section of the video is along the MRL's 10th Subdivision, and after Paradise MT it's on the 4th Subdivision. The Gas Local almost always utilizes the 10th Subdivision for both directions.

Yes, it was turned into a Branch Line when the west end of the segment was flooded in 1973 when a dam was built, the line was lost, along with a highway, over 5 towns, and thousands of people's lives who were washed away. The main was rerouted through the second longest railroad tunnel in the U.S.
