This train was so hot that three other east- bounds were backed up on Main 2, waiting until this one could get around them on Main 1 between Hardin and WB Junction near Carrollton, MO. There may have been a few westbound trains similarly affected by the action. Such situations are not unusual on the BNSF TransCon, however.
Yes, it has become a favorite, not least because most trains are moving fast!
Thank you!
