Cuba Turn switchman |
| Description: |
The switchman for the Cuba Turn stands between tracks as the Turn's lead unit, BNSF #2098, backs down to the rest of the train in the Cuba, MO yard. The Turn will head East toward St. Louis in a few moments. Thanks to the switchman, whoever you are, for recognizing me as "Alex the railfan" and making my day! |

The Cuba Turn - in its entirety |
| Description: |
The Cuba Turn, in its entirety, heads East out of Cuba, MO, after having stopped for some switching in town. Consist was BNSF GP38-2 #2098 leading and BNSF B40-8W #503 trailing, with a GATX tank car, ATSF gondola, un-ID'd tank car, and an AOK centerbeam flat car bringing up the rear. Bad shot, but as an old RR buddy would say,"documentation!". |
