A PSR intermodal
With Precision Scheduled Railroading, traffic is frequently combined to reduce train starts and cost. This train was once the hotshot Burlington Northern train 4 pre-merger between South Seattle and Chicago. With PSR in place on BNSF, it now has a large slug of manifest on the head end and drags across the railroad at much less than expedited speed.
The only upside is the extra traffic on the train fills out Trinidad Loop in eastern Washington much better.
