Today's Train of Thought- Hard at Work; Oct 22, 2009.


Today's train of thought takes us to the state currently with the lowest unemployment rate (4.2%)- North Dakota.
Here, under the vast expanses of blue skies, railpictures.net contributor Fredrick Wolter catches Northern Plains GP9Us #2297 and #2281 (both still in their Santa Fe paint) at Lansford, ND returning from working the remote Kramer line in July 2009. Barely 12 years old, the Northern Plains is something of a newcomer in the Dakotas

  1. Saw a nice BNSF train today running across Fort Hood. 5 engines and about 20 minutes worth of cars.

    That could be either a really good economic indicator (the train was full of goods heading to market or export) or a bad economic indicator (the cars were empty and on their way to some remote branchline to be stored)
