Saw this in Galesburg today

[Steve4031]

Two engines and a cafe car.



Wonder what the purpose is

 

[NorthCoastHiawatha]

Spare or bad ordered equipment would be my guess.

2 Joe's private train? :giggle:

 

[amtkstn]

Test train. The car has testing equipment in it.

 

[Everydaymatters]

I was in Galesburg last Wednesday and it was there at that time too.

 

[Steve4031]

Oh. Testing the tracks? What kind if equipment is in there?

 

[ACS-64]

PTC - Positive Train Control testing.

 

[Steve4031]

Ok. That makes sense. Bnsf has been adding different pieces of equipment along the right of way. Look carefully and you'll see some of it between gbb and chi.
