Hi Ted,

Yes, valid point. It just seemed odd since I can't recall ever seeing that=
 many loaded coal cars together in a picture of an eastbound freight throug=
h or on either side of Savanna. And while I guess a mine could ship out a l=
onger cut of cars vs. a whole train, wheel reports I have seen on the NP an=
d GN mixed freights never showed a large number of loaded coal hoppers head=
ed east. So my mind just jumped to the possibility of this being a pure coa=
l train vs. a mixed freight, which could make sense if Powder River coal wa=
s starting to flow from the mines to powerplants around this time. I guess =
the triple set of heavy GE's (U30C-U28B-U30C) also reminds me of power on a=
 unit coal train.

Finally, I was also hoping that there might be an explanation that could j=
ustify my running a unit coal train eastbound on my layout just before the =
BN merger! :-)
