Yep, just moved the camera over some...

I know, its just an inside joke with myself 'cause almost every other BNSF train I saw in Google street view had at least one dash-9 on it.

 

[FiachraIR]

It is pure luck that this is on street view as trains pass 5/6 times a day. This is 2811 CAF Multiple Unit, owned by Iarnrod Eireann(Irish Rail for those who never learned Irish at school) speeding pass in the South East of Ireland

Seven double stacks and seven cement hoppers... Why?

Seven double stacks and seven cement hoppers... Why?

Because stacks usually do not move in manifest trains, especially ones that are doing local switching at a cement plant. Best guess the containers are loaded with bulk cement and were loaded at the cement plant.

I only see a 50 by 30 mile area around Belton, not an actual railfanning / streetview link.
Could you take a 2nd look and post the correct link?

That caboose is in Trainz. I made it about 8 years ago, without the graffiti, as it didn't have any on it then and they didn't have the air conditioner units on it then either.
Here's the kuid number 39134:100204 Bay Window Railroad Police Caboose

Got it BNSF50.

Ooops, sorry! You'll have to do it manually

You can get this to work if you use Chrome. It appears Google wants everyone to use Chrome so this is one of the first things they have broken. This used to work fine in Firefox, but it no longer does in the current version.

On another note... I went through that area last year during a storm chase trip. We were on our way north to OKC after chasing in south western TX.

Can we at least try to go to Britain ONCE? or twice? :|

What is stopping you from searching and posting?
Go!

Maybe this is due to the implantation under Windows 8.1 U1. Otherwise Chrome works fine.

Unfortunately, this is the only really good shot of this train, it appears to have moved faster the the Google Car.
