BNSF 5533 Eastbound X-BEKWEV4-17A at Wever IA
An empty fertilizer train out of Benkelman, NE, pulls into the Iowa Fertilizer's nitrogen fertilizer plant near Wever. This is a brand new fertilizer plant that opened up in 2017 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub about 13 miles south of Burlington, IA. The train has pulled into the loop track to spot the train and un-DP the train that is 1x1. Iowa Fertilizer has on their web-site that this is the 1st greenfield nitrogen fertilizer facility constructed in the United States in more than 25 years! Looks like the Burlington Junction does the in-house switching for this plant. They switch crew had to clear off this loop track so this empty could yard.
