Severe flooding in the mid-west plains states has resulted in several BNSF lines being submerged for extended lengths of time. Consequently, a lot of trains are being rerouted on different lines. The HKCKPAS (Kansas City to Pasco, WA) has been rerouted through Colorado. Here, the train heads east on the Brush Sub with three Boeing 737 fuselages in the consist.

This was a pretty neat thing to see. I was on a load, and we arrived at Barr at about 1130, on duty at 0700 in Sterling. We would've liked to get to town, but our luck ran out there for a bit. We met four trains at Barr between 1130 and about 1300, and this was one of them.
We met an empty, and then this train's headlight was on the horizon. I could tell it was a KCKPAS from a distance, as those Boeing shrouds are pretty unique, but I've never seen one actually carrying the aircraft fuselage before. We met the Hudson Turn that you shot in this thread, and then another empty before we got the light into town. Tied up at 1415, 7:15 on duty...not bad.
