The type of train is a regular in the Wisconsin area and ironically the CP is the low end player in the Frac sand game. The freight car sounded rather hollow with the slack action so it probably empty. These usually go to some transloading site and oftentimes the cars come back loose but if they unload fast enough then it remains a unit train . While the car designs are pretty similar you can find up to 12 different reporting marks in a unit train. With this power the train most likely originated at Tunnel City WI site of the last active rail tunnel in the state. For some reason the average train here is 100 cars and rates only two locomotives up front. The CN & UP are the Power Players in this business in WI and the Pennsylvania West Virginia Market is the newest one. Thanks for sharing and this train puts us in the Brotherhood of Watchers as technically we could both see it!

@@paulbergen9114 Paul excellent information here! I love having people like you that watch my stuff, you add so more more insight to stuff than anyone else I know, I appreciate that greatly. What you said makes sense, I saw another video of one of these trains that go through here, only on the other side of the river, which is NS and the guy in the video said this train comes from a mine in Wisconsin that producing some sort of white sand that’s desired for fracking operations, that train had CP power on it. So yes there is definitely a market for this sand in southwestern Pennsylvania because Range Resources has numerous well pads in this area. Thanks again for the info Paul, have a great rest of your evening 👍🏼😎🇺🇸 ps it was definitely empty based on the hollowness from the slack action, you got a good ear Paul!👍🏼👍🏼

Love seeing foreign power leaders and CPKC is always a great catch! At 2:30, you got a clear shot of the springs and it doesn't look like they are compressed so this one might be an empty, or maybe loaded light? I have no idea, hqrd to say from a video, so just a guess! Which yard is that and how long did they block the road? Thanks for sharing!

This was my first time seeing a KCS unit personally, wasn’t expecting it. Actually I think this was an empty and after hearing the slack you could definitely tell they were empty. The yard is the Newell Yard on the Monogahela Sub, it was an old P&LE yard which still has remnants of an old roundhouse. This must’ve been a quick crew change or stop for some other reason because they pulled back out maybe within 5min. Appreciate you watching 👍🏼😎🇺🇸

Sweet stuff! I wonder if this is heading to Fairmont? There's a frack sand transloading spot down there. Location would be right.

Good question, I’m not exactly sure where she was going, I know this train only runs once a week through here, maybe less. It pulled back out probably 5 minutes after I ended the video, no DPU’s, I’m pretty sure it was empty. Thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼🇺🇸😎

Yeah I definitely wasn’t expecting to see foreign power! We’ve done a lot of work over the years on this house, this is the second time we roofed and sided it, it got bad hail damage from a storm last fall, we are just able to get to it now, just been busy with other jobs. They pulled back out maybe 5 minutes after I ended the video, no DPU, I think it was empty. Appreciate you watching Pappy👍🏼😎🇺🇸
