Title:  A whole train load of NEW TOYS
Description:  NS 7612 leads BNSF train MSAGETT north as it enters the Amarillo Tx area at Pullman Tx. Train is all recently released DOT 111 Tank Cras destined for Etter Texas. These cars were built at the Trinity Rail Plant in the greater Ft Worth Tx area and were headed for their first revenue load. Little, did I know that I would shoot this same train 2 days later in Colrado with the same units and car order as seen here.

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.
