Eastbound TP&W Road Freight, Sunday, August 6, 2017
Thanks to a heads up from a railfan friend, I decided to spend Sunday afternoon chasing an eastbound TP&W manifest to El Paso. Despite the overcast, it was well worth it. TP&W GP50 #5010 & TP&W SD40-3 #3442 left the East Peoria Yard with 56 cars (25 grain empties/31 mixed) and added 25 soybean loads at Cruger. Video was taken just east of Eureka and entering El Paso. The train's block of mixed freight has some variety at least. - David P. Jordan
