Trains Magazine General Discussion

I was driving west on I-10 today from Palm Desert towards the Inland Empire part of California. You can view trains at various locations along this route. The majority of the locomotives are Union Pacific mostly hauling double stack containers.

I came into one section, and saw a train lead by 4 engines, 2 were CSX, 1 was Chessie, and 2 was BNSF. I was engrossed in seeing these engines, so I just caught a glimpse of the engines on a train heading east on the line behind it. This train had 3 engines. The lead engine was Union Pacific. I didn’t get a very good look at the other two, but I’ll describe them. They had a 3 color scheme of 3 broad horizontal stripes. The bottom band was red, the middle band was white, and the top band waas either black or a very dark blue. Large red letters on the white band spelled out something like FREELAND OR FREEMAN or something similar.

Is anyone familar with company?

thanks,

Thank you very much for the info.

It doesn’t quite look like what I thought I saw, but I only got a glimpse, so I’m sure my mind filled in details, correct or not. I seem to recall the bands of color being solid without breaks, but the colors are correct, so I probably saw the Ferromex engines.

Go to Google and type in Ferromex. Go to images and check out the pictures of the Ferromex engines. We have seen all different colors on them through here, so maybe one of those is what you saw.
