Getting ready to depart Amory MS westbound - August 2013

 

Friday afternoon, 12 Jan, overcast skies, a bit of wind and cold, well below zero. As we pulled into Forsyth, I saw 3 trains parked. Got to stop. The 3 are all loaded grain, and have been setting for at least a day, snow on the railheads. As I am taking the photo's, the crew van rolls up to see what is up, and we have a pleasant conversation. Then he leaves because a 4th loaded grain train rolls in! And ties down. I dunno why they are just parked, but maybe someone else does....
Looking east towards the rear of the trains,
West view, the power is way around the bend,
The DPU's right near the depot at the east end of the yard

 

If the weather there is anything at all like here, my guess would be high winds.

Being as it was -32F here this morning, and out that way a similar temp, I think they are just being unusually cautious.
