About 124 miles into its 216-mile trip from Barstow to San Diego, BNSF train H-BARSDG1-13A is already 16 hours behind schedule. Sadly, that's no longer an aberration on today's railroads. And with 92 miles to go, will the crew make it to San Diego before their hours of service expire at 16:00 (4:00 pm)? (They will.)
BNSF ES44DC 7461, SD70ACe 9037, Dash 9-44CW 4019 and ES44C4s 8086 and 8318 are pulling this 89-car, 6,166-foot freight, with BNSF Dash 9-44CW 5368 and ET44C4 3894 for the train's rear Distributed Power Units. (Orange, California – November 14, 2024)
