Strange train on the Rock & Rail |
| Description: |
Well not really strange. This BNSF duo has lead acoal load into what is known as the North Storage Track in Portland Co. This was at one time the ATSF Main Line thru the area. Not sure if this is a regular run or a one time deal. Coal was destined for the Holcim Cement Plant, out of the view on the right. This is ex DRGW territory, old Tenn Pass Line. |
