Nomad of Mid-America
Pot of Gold
Leprechauns and that elusive pot of gold were nowhere to be found, but instead the elaborate spectrum of rays cast down from the heavens located the real prize in the form of BNSF 1099 dressed in BNSF's infant livery busting out of the torrential storm clouds dropping their deluge onto Mississippi River at Ferryville, WI. With the thunderstorm now behind them, U CKBSWE0 12T and crew have sights set on La Crosse, WI, but more difficulties lie ahead in their path as they will need to weave through a maze of dead trains and 30 miles of single track along with five others in the fleet in front of them on a heavily plugged up north end of the Aurora Subdivision. These empty hoppers came from the steel manufacturing powerhouse of Cleveland Cliffs at Burns Harbor, IN, and will be routed through the Canadian border via Sweetgrass, MT, where CP will take them the remainder of the journey to Teck Resources in British Columbia for another round of metallurgical coal.
