Description
I like to find locations where the real work of railroading is being done and I've been watching this siding for 6 months. About once a week the BNSF switches a few loads of plastic pellets into a plant at the end of a very long branch on the west side of the Fox River.

I just happened to be in the right place this week when the crew showed up with a much patched GP39E and a GP38-2 and backed two hoppers around this very sharp curve with all the wheel flanges screaming.
