Nuke/Radio Active train west bound in NE !!

[mille-ryan]

Was leaving work this morning at 8am and saw a rather cool short train rollin in on the west main. I worked a train sorta like this one a month ago, which has a caboose that you dont approach ( armed guards on board). Well this train today was a single leader, the caboose and about 3 or 4 all different style containment pods of some sort. I know I shoulda got a pic but I wanted to get home. Im sure its out on the road again by now. Hope someone can get some shots of it. This was in North Platte,Ne 8am central time.

Sounds like a nuke waste train for sure, I have seen some thru here, the ones I caught had CSX power

Often the ones with CSX power are coming from the Savannah River Site near Aiken, SC.

Yea this was way diff than before. Last time it was to huge conainment cylinders like this set up http://www.barraclou.com/rail/cars/dodx_hinkle03.jpg
Todays train was 2 different style large rectangle cases, then one car had some pretty large valving of some sort. Kickin myself for not taking pics. Been limiting my shots to rail graffitti.
