BNSF 6607 |
| Description: |
While waiting for the mile-long Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus train, a passenger train that could not be much shorter appeared heading the other direction! BNSF ES44C4 6607 was on the point of train U-NEEBAK5-12Z (Needles to Bakersfield) consisting of just two cars: BNSF 81 (a track measurement car, the former ATSF 63 built by ACF in 1950) and BNSF 80 "Rio Grande River" (a "theatre" car rebuilt from BNSF 43, which was originally built as Southern Pacific bi-level gallery commuter coach 3700 by P-S in 1955). Shortly after passing, this two-car westbound met the 59-car eastbound circus train somewhere between Mojave and Tehachapi – that must’ve been quite a contrast. |
