BNSF 8501 - Modesto Station After waiting for traffic to clear up at Riverbank, a southbound BNSF Key Train gets back up to the maximum allowed 45mph track speed with a long string of autos up front followed by tank cars stenciled for sulfuric acid, inedible tallow, liquified petroleum gas and ethanol. I stepped back a few feet after I heard over the scanner this was a Key Train. Camera be damned! — BNSF 8501 - Modesto Station Credit: ApproachAspect
