New tankers
Title:  New tankers
Description:  I was reading an article in the August 2013 issue of Trains magazine by David Thomas and noticed a photo similar to mine. It was about the rise of crude oil shipment on North American rails and the backlog of tank car production. It will surely become a common sight! A mile of brand spanking new oil cans. I bet they won't stay that way long.

ES44 C4 truck
Title:  ES44 C4 truck
Description:  The BNSF 6776 is an ES44 C4. The trucks are special in that the front and rear axles have traction motors, but the center axle does not. In order to get maximum tractive effort, the cam mechanism on the center axle raises the wheels off the track when starting to pull a heavy load.
