Remarks & Notes |
An empty Fruitland coal train slams thru the west end of Cotter minutes from sunset. Cool to see old ex-Rock Island signals, with a pot signal, still in service here. The train is 55 miles from being returned to the BNSF at Ottumwa for another trip to the Powder River. CP handles the coal trains from the BNSF between Ottumwa and Fruitland. The trains run in an unusual setup of 2x2x2, due to the heavy grade to get out of Ottumwa on the loaded side. |
