BNSF 3888 Eastbound XFTXERS9-21 East of Marceline MO
The BNSF signal gangs have finished up another round of signal upgrades on the Marceline Sub. In November most of the remaining ex-Santa Fe signal bridges were cut over to new wayside signals. The BNSF started upgrades to the signal system back on the Marceline Sub in 2012-13 with the implement of PTC. Somehow a few signal bridges made it into 2019 untouched. Now all that really remains are bridges that have the newer hooded signals on them. Here an empty grain train leaves Marceline in the rear view mirror as they head east.
