A
wet Sunday, September 13, 2009 at Little Rock, Arkansas. We had another
long windmill train today. A trusted UP source told me that the
windmill trains come from Beaumont, TX. The blades and all. No
blads made in Little ROck are shipped by rail yet. These blades
and motors are assembled overseas (Spain I think) and are shipped over
here and unloaded at Beaumont Texas. They are usually destined
for Manly, IA. The symbol is SBTMY. The train that came through
had both
blades and generators. I've also included a couple of Youtube videos of
the windmill train shot in HD. Also today:
1) UP 4192, 2482, 3815, 8366, 1930, 5997, 6178 (SP), 9717 (CNW) 2) SP 9755 3) GMTX 2156, 2157 4) MKT green hopper 5) SOO white boxcar 18886 6) Long windmill train
