With both Hibtac and Keetac running at full capacity along with Mexico-bound all-rails from Unitac and Magnetation plus Minntac CN moves that level of traffic makes for a very happy BNSF. Yesterday at Carlton I caught a meet between a loaded Hibtac Dock train and an empty Mexico all-rail for loading at Unitac. Some essence of snow on the ground helps lighten the scene.

What was neat about the Mexico all-rail was that the entire train was made up of the newer BNSF ore cars. It would be nice to catch one of these with the latest batch, which should be on the property any day now.
