What is a transfer table?
Overview. A transfer table, also known as a traverser, consists of a single length of track that can be moved from side to side, in a direction perpendicular to the track. There are often multiple tracks on one side of the table and a single or multiple track(s) on the other.

The turntable pit was filled in at their facility in Miles City, Montana.
Also a good view of the transfer table above.

Yesterday was 110 cars deen at Midwest Energy. The cars suggest this was petroleum coke from Billings, but I'm not certain. In the distance is the Paul R. Tregurtha loading PRB coal for DTE. Superior, WI - October 17, 2025— in Superior, WI.

Perhaps one of the most anticipated and celebrated railroad and railfan events so far in the 21st century was the restoration and return to the rails in 2019 of Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive 4014. She joined the living steam legend 844 for the innagural tour. From the Railway Productions show "Big Boy, Return to the Mainline" https://rfd.video/BigBoyReturn

I've posted Google Steet Views of this mural in the past. This weekend the wife and I took a detour through Logansport, IN and saw it in person. Pretty neat!!!!
