Strange Sight

Just got held up by a UP loaded automobile train here in Moore, Ok at noon. What’s strange? It was southbound on BNSF’s Kansas City to FT. Worth main.
Any derailments on UP southbound anybody know about? Just don’t see UP trains here in Moore unless they are detouring.

Are you sure it just wasn’t UP power on a BNSF train?

That is pretty strange… I’ve never seen a UP train on that line (just a few miles south in Norman). Just a few minutes ago I saw one with a few ex-UP units that were from a leasing company.

That sounds right. This will probably end up one of those useless posts.

not that uncommon…up here there was a BNSF C44-9W on coal train not that long ago.

It’s not strange. UP has been running a number of trains via their trackage rights on BNSF, from Wichita to Ft Worth, for a month or so, at least.
