Dates:2/2/2019 - 2/2/2019
Album Info:Always get a thrill about the unusual stuff. More so about railroad wreckers and derricks. The H-TEADYT (sb manifest; Teague, TX to Dayton, TX) came through about noon. It had eight general freight cars (covered hoppers and tanks) but it was also towing an MOW Pile Driver carrier, idler flats and Ohio Derrick. So, I chased it to Normangee where it eased its way through. Overheard the crew saying they had to drop the rear four cars of MOW equipment but couldn't hear where. Ran ahead to NSS Zulch, where the TEADYT held the main for a while, then took the siding for the northbound H-LALTEA. I grabbed some video and shots of the equipment, and briefly shot the breeze with the Conductor, who confirmed the equipment was getting dropped.. Just down the road at Iola! Which of course was close enough to continue chasing. So, I ran ahead to TMPA, and set up my camera equipment for the drop off. With Gibbons Creek Generating Station converted to gas, the TMPA storage tracks are being used for the pre-positioning of ballast hoppers for the new 10,000 foot siding on the Conroe Subdivision between Dobbin and Montgomery, as well as a ballast regulator. A few days ago, a little Byrdie told me, the I-beams stored at Normangee House / Standley Feed track are going to be used to reinforce some culverts in the area. So, it is only logical the pile driver is here to drive them. ;) BNSF Red River Division Houston Subdivision MP159.56 - Main Street gc; Normangee, TX MP153.00 - North Siding Switch Zulch; North Zulch, TX MP139.00 - TMPA (Iola), TX 02 February 2019 - 12:17 CST BNSF H-TEADYT1-02 BNSF 7575 [ES44DC] BNSF 938420 (pile driver carrier) BNSF 931007 (idler flat) BNSF 975431 / X1405431 [IPS / Ohio DE-400BN - s/n 5140] BNSF 938462 (boom tender) all images © 2019 - Philip M.
