BNSF Train on UP Tracks 4

Description

In case you didn't know, this train I got today was hauling Wind Turbines, so I was told they were. Not only was it rare that a BNSF train was coming through Tucson but what was also highly unusual was what this train was carrying! I did not know what those big white things were and they laid on two flat cars at a time! They looked like airplane parts to me, and a bystander. But when I went to the Transportation Museum and told someone about that train, and apparently he saw it too, he told me those were wind turbines and told me why BNSF's train might be traveling on Union Pacific's tracks. Either the usual route wouldn't have allowed for these to get through or maybe there was a derailment on the main route this train was supposed to have taken.

But this was an unusual freight train in my eyes, well the freight itself was unusual!

Cool. I showed this to my boy friend before I read your comments and neither of us knew what that was. Most of our trains just carry closed cars or containers on flat open cars. Sometimes you can tell what's in the cars but usually you can't. A lot of them actually have cars in them though. We have a Kia plant near here, plus Atlanta has Mercedes-Benz and others. I found this out while looking at graffiti on a parked train from my car. I noticed the shiny of the headlights and paint and figured it out. That train is way cooler though.
