| One of two "Snow-Coach" consists at Lincoln sits ready in the Arrita Stub track in BNSF Hobson Yard in Lincoln, NE. Though 12-28-2011 was unseasonably warm, the heavy snowfall that is common on the Nebraska Division which shuts down crew transportation on public streets and strands trains is just around the corner. The high horsepower locomotives are needed to bust snow drifts and the caboose in the middle is needed to transport crews to and from stranded trains. This consist is ES44AC 6050 and SD70ACe 9339 sandwiching BN caboose 12552. |
