    Whatever, it's a long weekend there's still time.

    Just got back from taking down . International railfair. Show went smoothly, the $10 parking killed us. So glad we're leaving the Fairgrounds management in the dust. Free parking next year.
    So went smoothly, but addled my brain. So hopefully others were less adlpated.

    A south bound oil train on the BNSF outside of Cameron, Texas last Friday. There was not a buffer car between the first tanker and the motive power. Maybe it was an empty car?

    If not an empty, perhaps used for a non-chemical/petroleum product?

    The tank cars had 1267 placards (Petroleum Crude Oil). Or maybe the BNSF is using UP locomotives for buffer cars.

    "Into the Storm"
    Amtrak Empire Builder, led by the heritage unit #130, accelerates from under the Broadway Bridge out of the Minot, ND station stop in heavy snow showers.
