While I was driving east parallel to the UPRR mainline from St. Louis to Kansas City I saw a train yesterday that was led by a UPRR engine, followed by a CSX and the third unit was a well weathered red, white and blue unit marked HCLX on the cab. I've never seen one before. Can anyone shed some light on what it might be? The consist was car haulers.
Even thought it was Sunday I also saw, within about 50 miles traveling alongside that track at least three LONG empty coal consists headed west. They were the two engines on one end and one on the other. I couldn't count and drive, but they seemed to me exceptionally long, possibly well over 100 cars. Is that possible?
