Ludlow, Vermont, Looks a Bit Different Than Ludlow, California!
BNSF Railway train H-SLABAR9-03A (High Priority Merchandise, Slaton TX to Barstow CA) has one of the most colorful consists I've seen in quite a while, as it includes two Heritage diesels from two different railroads: Union Pacific 1982 (the Missouri Pacific unit) and Norfolk Southern 1069 (the Virginian unit), along with a pair of old SD60Ms still in BN Cascade Green! The full consist was BNSF ES44DC 7438, UP SD70ACe 1982, NS SD70ACe 1069, BNSF Dash 9-44CW 4541, BNSF SD60M 8180 and BNSF SD60M 8195 (with BNSF Dash 9-44CW 4309 as the rear-end DPU).
