BNSF 9750, SB, MP11, CORONADO SUB, AZ 2-4-2024
Another one from our chase of MACe/MAC duo on a coalie bound for the Tucson Electric Power Company's Springerville Generating Station. Our second spot got them still clawing up the hill while entering a deep cut in the landscape. The HP rating system that BNSF uses gave them 23,900hp total among the 5 AC units for the 17,692 ton train. We would break off from here to get around to the other end of the Coronado Sub where they'll pop out of the inaccessible middle portion of the run. The 124 loads of black diamonds would make it to power plant without a problem later that afternoon.
