Wasted Energy

Smooth sailing till you get to Basin then the railroad starts...

 

Union Pacific 7865 and 6310 drag thirteen thousand tons of coal past the oddball lights at Minneola Road after spending the better part of the morning in the hole at Basin (Just under five hours if you want to be exact). As this train which was suppose to be my afternoon entertainment finally gets lit into Yermo, to more or less spend the rest of the day waiting to add power for it's trip over the BNSF since the Pier S and Fresno Detour burned though the captive helpers....

 

This train has a companion video available, follow the rabbit hole here: youtu.be/2dNuyk47Op8
