unusual consist

[NW Mailing List]

I have no information on the train, but it sounds like it might be transporting nuclear materials. I saw a similar consist (except with a CSX engine) going through Richmond on CSX several months ago and the cars were labeled DOD.

  This morning about 7:15 am an odd train went thru Jonesborough, TN headed west.            

  Two UP engines an empty flat car, two very unusual cars, a flat car and a Caboose.

   

  The two unusual cars had well protected and or supported cylindrical loads topped with silver caps.

  It looked similar to two very large R2-D2's.  It's very difficult to take photographs when still in bed and just looking out the window.

   

  Does anyone have any information on this train?
