| Description: |
With its crew about to die on hours, a loaded coal train (BNSF C-CAMSLP) pulls into the siding at Kerrick, Texas, just across the border from Oklahoma. In fact, only about the first fourth of this train is in Texas - the rest is in Oklahoma. This train wasn't going into the siding to meet another train (the Boise City Subdivision is a directional line), but rather was going to be tied down until a new crew could board and head south to Amarillo, Texas. |

Coal empties (BNSF E-BSBCDM) from Otter Tail Power's plant near Big Stone City, South Dakota cruise west on what was once the Milwaukee Road's mainline to the Pacific Northwest. Much has changed along these tracks since the demise of the Milwaukee Road - for example, traffic is down to about 3-6 trains per day and, west of Hettinger, North Dakota, the vintage signals have been deactivated and completely ripped out in places. |
