Remarks & Notes |
As the BNSF drops into the Mississippi River Valley in Burlington, the track pass thru some tight confines with the business district. Here a loaded coal train has the brakes set and dynamics on as they slow down for the 12 mph permanent speed restriction at the bottom of this heavy grade. The train has just pass thru the beginning of a short section CTC in this area at Lucas Street, MP 206.6. This shot has really opened up over the year after the Murray Iron Works buildings were demolished.
Here how tight the confines use to be at this location.
