And here it is, only 2 days later and over 400 miles away. Train came up from Amarillo Tx thru Dalhart Tx and on into Trinidad Co. From there, it went north to Pueblo Co and thru Pblo Jct, where it used the Wye to get oriented right for its swd journey to Etter Tx. It has been resymboled by now, and is now the M PUEETT. From here it will go east to La Junta Co then south on the Boise City Sub twds Amarillo again, but along the way, it will get to its destination of Etter Tx. What a routing this one took. |
