Q Train Eastbound
Title:  Q Train Eastbound
Description:  BNSF 6729 leads this stacker east on the BNSF Cuba Sub. as it passes over the Dozier Rd. crossing just east of Pacific, Mo. This was an interesting stacker, the first 30 cars or so were all loaded with J.B. Hunt containers and the rear of the train had a bunch of LPG tankers and a single gondola in the middle of the tankers. Odd one to say the least.
