Big Loaded CSX Grain Train

Grain train G801 goes east with three locos and 91 cars.

Seen 4/20/18 in Gaithersburg, MD.

The lead unit, 811, runs on diesel. So do the next two. The cars are grain cars. Loaded, they carry 110 tons each; the smaller ones, 100 tons each.

Count the cars. If they were loaded, how many tons of grain would that be? It could be soybeans, it could be corn; I don't know. It gets turned into bread, it gets turned into cooking oil; beats me.

Or depend on the ability of people to travel from one place to another.

Or maybe they're working from one of those boring old bucket trucks:

I'm lucky I can find the power switch on my work-issue laptop. That's as much IT as I know, so I am unable to deliver my expertise on what I would have done.

But I do know this:

Yes, this affects you.
