Threading 'em through
Crew change and go has been the phrase of the day and it's 7:45pm on July 1st at C Street in Wellington, KS on the former Santa Fe Transcon mainline.
Eastbound ZPHXWSP7-30L with stacks up front crosses C Street in downtown Wellington. Clearly a power repositioning move as the 3860 tons & 5730 feet does not require 9 high-horsepower locomotives (a whopping 8.1 HPT).
Meanwhile, at the far end of the yard we see the head-end Citirail leased ES44AC on the point of the VBLUBAR3-01A with 4400 feet of autos for San Bernardino, Richmond and El Mirage.
