Two stacks |
| Description: |
Not an uncommon sight on the Transcon. The westbound stacks containers roll away from us, as the next eastbound comes up at a crawl. |

The eastbound we saw in the distance crawls up to the crossing, as he waits for the signal to clear. |

Doesnt take long |
| Description: |
As the stack stops to keep clear of the crossing, we see that it doesnt take long for things to back up on the Transcon, as another eastbound appears in the distance. |

Coal waiting |
| Description: |
Back in Amarillo, I got out and was about to head east for home, but thought Id check out the "other" BNSF in town, the former Fort Worth & Denver, which, unlike the ex Santa Fe Transcon, sees a lot of coal. It does see some merchandise and intermodal traffic, but mostly a lot or Wyoming coal. This was one of several coal trains I caught there that morning, shuffling power for the run east on the FW&D. |
