Need Help Identifying Rail Cars I Saw Today | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

ChugmanOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I was out today observing rail side details for my layout. I was taking pictures of electrical or relay cabinets and etc. While I was at a grade crossing in Bristol, IL, which is on the BNSF Transcon 45 miles west of Chicago, I saw an empty sand train waiting on the south main. Then what looked to me like a work train went around it on the crossover and passed me. There were two engines on the lead and a long train of TTX flats with some kind of cradles on them. Does anyone know what they had been carrying? I didn't count them, but would estimate 50 to 60 cars?

Thanks, Art

Wind turbine towers

Very good. That makes perfect sense as they are always adding more wind turbines in the countryside west of here.

Thanks for your help.
