The speed of these things is impressive considering that each container weighs between 40 and 50000 lbs, I used to work at CN rail building stack trains at night in Thornton yards (Surrey British Columbia)

That overpass is my favorite place to watch trains in New Mexico. As far as the eye can see in both directions.

You’re right about the one that was in service from Carlsbad to Clovis that particular motor car is M160 it resides at the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco Texas in full operating condition
@nitetrain2202Ай бұрын
Thanks, I was there in May 2023 between M160 the fake f-7A, FP 45 and the PA-1 under rebuild, they have a nice Santa Fe collection. I believe #13 and #14 ran a Motor car very late between Albuquerque and El Paso, too?

The last active Wig Wag on a class 1 (BNSF, old AT&SF) was in Delhi Colorado, that is what I was talking to the docent who was showing me around. Also I have come to find out it is "Dell HI" not "Deli" like in India
