With no timetable or Realtime Trains to follow it is really back to the old days of photography of sitting by the lineside and see what turns up! Thankfully at this particular location you could hear the trains coming about 10 minutes before they actually appeared, but you had no idea what the consist would be, so I was a bit miffed to have moved to a location that would suit a stack train and this huge petrochemicals train rounds the corner! This thing must've had over 120 tanks, not sure a 60 would manage that out of Theale on 6B33!! Whats more, I understand BNSF have serious loco shortages so have reactivated a lot of previously stored locos and are hiring in from other companies as can be seen here. At the head of the train we have a 1996 built BNSF GE C44-9W class no. 1083, leading a Norfolk Southern classmate no. 8937 and a Canadian National Railways 1986 built EMD SD60 no. 5465. Probably the most interesting train of the trip!
