BNSF 1458
I've noticed in the past that there were coil cars that would go out on the local and figured there was some industry in Hastings that would take them. It turns out that they are dropped on the westbound trip in Grafton. Our guess is that they are unloaded onto trucks and taken south to the pivot plant outside Deshler but I don't know for certain.
What I do know is that they took a bit of time doing their setout which allowed for the sun to start peaking through again. Here they join back onto the main and continue on to Fairmont.
BNSF SD60M's 1458 and 1462 lead the 504 local eastbound on the Hastings Subdivision outside Exeter, Nebraska, September 4, 2025.
