March and April, 2018. Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, USA A variety of locomotives pass through town. Often related to frac sand trains. |
The GTW looks abandonned under snow, but its just that it snowed 20 inches in one weekend in April |
An east bound CN sand train coming to 25th Avenue |
BNSF and NS power waiting on the wye |
And the next morning, 2 of them are on a loaded sand train pulling up to 25th Avenue. |
.
And on another morning at 25th Avenue, an interesing combination is being assembled onto an eastbound loaded sand train. Is that a GP-40 being added up front? But the number series say CSX 8069 is an SD-40. Still, that's small compared to most for a sand train. And I was too far away to see the number on the silver locomotive, further back. |
A lone BNSF moving across 25th Avenue in the middle of the day, I don't know why. |
.
It looks like a GECX might be on a Woodtick one night. |
