Two Mile Extra

Inches don't matter anymore.

 

An El Paso, Texas (Alfalfa) to Tucson, Arizona extra manifest thunders over the top of the hill at Mescal with a trio of heavy ACs on the point (no DPU). This manifest train really popped in the open desert with a colorful mixture of railcars to watch come around the bend. The train seemed to be very well blocked out with a mishmash of single cars from here to the curve, followed by a large block of empty Autos, Highcubes and Centerbeams. The rear end was more a an interesting localized block of copper mining products and byproducts that probably only see a small section of the North American rail network.

 

This train and a few others have a companion video available here: youtu.be/IPE7NEl5ETE
