Dave Curtis General Very nice! Where I live we see a lot of 6-axle BNSF power on Bakken crude trains, nice to see the 4-axle units. 2/10/2013 5:30:49 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks, reason this is 4 axle power is it's a transfer job & not a road train, although the transfer does run with 6 axle road power sometimes, even the big coal train power sometimes when they're short on the 4 axle power such as when they're servicing the lighter 4 axle power & have to use whatever is on hand, but most of the time the transfer uses the good old 4 axle power 2/10/2013 8:18:00 AM
