Nothing But Coal

[B_Kosanda]

I'd like to see a mixed freight some time soon. But, there's nothing but coal trains on the Hannibal Sub lately. It's the life blood of the country I guess. These are from the last couple days. Can't wait till the heat breaks here in Missouri.

I haven't been up on the Hannibal Sub lately. Is it busy? Too bad more general freights aren't running.

What is an "HFI". The sign I photographed in picture #3 is meant for train crews. It stated that the crossing had a high rate of HFI incidents. I am assuming HFI means something like Human Fatality Incidents or something else that could ruin your day. It is definitely a very wierd crossing there. The tracks are elevated and the road crosses at a very sharp angle. If you cross the tracks, there is a possibiity that a train is coming from almost directly behind you.

Good shots Bill.

HFI: Human Factor Incidents. But could be human fatality incidents.
