BNSF's Ravenna Sub
A single BNSF SD70MAC
is on the point of a DPU'ed coal load
waiting at the end of
double track in Milford, NE.
Milford is where the
mainline swings back to an east-west alignment after heading almost due
south from Seward.
This is also where a
stretch of double track narrows down to single track for the run east to
Pleasant Dale.
After a lengthy delay,
the BN 8178 moves it's empty hoppers through the end of double track at
Pleasant Dale, NE.
Pleasant Dale is a great
spot to sit and watch the parade of trains that can stack up.
This is where the BNSF
dispatcher is put to the test trying to get all those Ravenna Sub black
diamonds through the single track stretch between here and Milford.
