A beautiful fall day finds the Funnel full of trains, some of which are parked. BNSF 3993 is on the point of a loaded oil train sitting idle after just re-crewing with a relief crew to get it to Hauser Yard. BNSF 9523 is making time eastbound as a DPU on an empty coal train.
Tier IV locomotives are the safest, cleanest, and most fuel efficient locomotives on the rails today. Unfortunately, most of them are ugly and are as quiet as an ACS-64.
