Nonstop Coal Trains in the Powder River Basin! 8/15/2024

On day 4 of my trip to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming I found myself at the iconic Logan Hill, the summit of BNSF's Orin Subdivision, from either side of this point on the line, tracks descend at a 1% or so grade on average, which is challenging for the heavy coal trains that traverse the line. Here the mainline is four tracks, though the furthest west main was used as storage for empty coal hoppers at this time. From both directions, both loaded and empty coal drags dramatically pull up the hill often in Notch-8, using every last horsepower in their locomotives. Today was busy, where both BNSF and UP were running lots of traffic into and out of the mines to the north. Aside from the BNSF and UP trains, an MRL locomotive made its way onto a BNSF loaded coal train, as they often find themselves in coal service due to the absorption of the MRL into the BNSF. Enjoy over two and a half hours of a coal hauling railroad drama that's not matched anywhere else!
