FL9

A crew showed up for the SWW 7286 South just as I was leaving, but they were going to have to wait for two northbounds to leave Fort Worth before they could go in, so I headed on down to Saginaw.  A small railfan crowd was present in spite of the cold wind blowing.  Within a few minutes this southbound BNSF mainifest with a Ferromex unit trailing banged across the diamonds and into Saginaw Yard.

A northbound transfer run was next, and I moved out for a side view of the lead SD40-2 to compensate for the winter backlighting.

Included in the train was a cut of around thirty new hopper cars with TILX reporting marks and bearing the logo “VeraSun Energy”.

They showed to have been built this same month, January 2008, and had that new car shine and smell as they rolled on towards Alliance Yard.
