Viewing Album:  LORAM export to Adelaide, Australia on H-TEAAMY - Part 2
 
By:Philip M. Goldstein
Dates:8/5/2019 - 8/5/2019
Album Info:Today, more of those shrinkwrapped equipment on flats came through, and I chased it from Flynn to Singleton to ensure I obtained good shot of any writing. Information from an inside source has informed me LORAM is listed on the waybill, which makes it MOW equipment. I emailed LORAM on the off chance they would reply. To my surprise, they did: Hello Philip, Thank you for your inquiry. The items on the flatcars are being shipped from Loram to Australia. The machine is RG419, an RG400 series rail grinder: (https://www.loram.com/…/rai…/production-rail-grinding/rg400/), similar to the rail grinders that you have probably seen on the BNSF tracks by your house previously. Please see the information on our website regarding the purpose of the rail grinders. WC-water car GC-grind car PC-power car CC-control car SC-support car Thank you, Scott Loram, Inc Writing on the shrinkwrap states: Destination Adelaide Australia BBC BN# 18-047 Thanks to a 10 mph speed restriction at South Siding Switch Zulch for frog welding; I was able to zoom in on individual ends with my 400mm and get the equipment numbers: 419 WC2 on QTTX 132042 (Water Car 2) 419 GC4 on QTTX 132021 (Grinding Car 4) 419 PC1 on QTTX 132035 (Power Car 1) 419 GC3 on QTTX 132044 (Grinding Car 3) 419 GC2 on QTTX 132024 (Grinding Car 2) 419 WC1 on QTTX 132001 (Water Car 1) Saturdays shipment was 419 PC2 on QTTX 132036 (Power Car 2) If I understand the nomenclature correctly, this breaks down to WC = Water Car GC = Grinding Car PC = Power Car BNSF Red River Division Houston Subdivision MP159.6 - Normangee - 14:35 CST MP151.8 - SSS Zulch - 14:55 CST MP139.4 - TMPA - 15:18 CST MP131.0 - NSS Singleton - 15:36 CST Texas, USA 05 August 2019 BNSF (sb High Priority Manifest; Teague, TX to PTRA American Yard; Houston, TX) BNSF 4075 [GE C44-9W] BNSF 8355 [GE ES44C4] all images © 2019 - Phantastic Pherroequinology / Philip M.
