Interesting Train on the Seattle Sub

[DelmonteX]

This afternoon about 1:30 a southbound BNSF train rolled past Pioneer (University Place, WA).

Headend had a BNSF unit in the lead and two CN units trailing. Mid train were three more BNSF units and the rear DPU's were a BNSF and a CP unit. Train consisted of grey 3 bay covered hoppers.

I was too far way (Fox Island) to pick up any more details. Anyone know what it was hauling (or was if it was an empty)?

Dunno? But I do know if you head trackside RIGHT NOW, 7:00 PM, you can catch U.P. 1996 (heritage) on the head end of a baretable. It should be heading north through Nisqually at the moment.

Sounds like one of the Grain trains,we been talking about in another thread.

Anyone know just where Kings Park is? Where was the origination?

 

[PNWhogger]

Lead unit is the 5267.

Kinpark is the destination. Looks to be near LA.

Thanks Greg!

Being a California native (refugee), I usually found that if I didn't know the location of some place in California, it was usually near LA.
