Texas Bound and a Flyin'
UP 1989 (DRGW heritage) & (DPU) 5423 lead MBUFW-02 ("Manifest" from Butler, Wisconsin to Fort Worth, Texas) westbound through Otis on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids, IA on 11/2/18. Despite the fact this train had an M symbol, it was (and has been ever since it's been running) all frac sand loads. My best guess would be that this train will end up picking up/setting out cars somewhere along its long journey between Butler and Fort Worth, thus deeming it a "manifest." Honestly, who knows. Another fun little fact, a minute or two before this thing showed up, the sun was out and shining in perfect golden hour light. Guess the clouds had other plans for me.
