Viewing Album: LMIX BC4

Dates:	7/10/2009 - 7/10/2009
Album Info:	These are pictures of a Loram ballast cleaner I chased from Albion, IL to Centralia, IL. (The originals are a little better quality.) I met Gary Blaylock, the General Superintendent of Loram, at Walnut Hill, IL when the machine pulled into a spur. I sent him some of my pics & he sent me some info on BC4. "We were traveling from Princeton, IN that morning to St.Loxis, MO to get on UPRR. That day we made E. St. Louis TeriminalRR. The machine has two engines one for hyduralics, which drives machine and runs digging whe}ls. The other powers electricity whichs runs conveyer belts and lights. We ended up traveling the machine to Hastings, NE, which took another week and one day. In all it took 3 weeks and 1 day to go from Bluefield, WV to Hastings,NE."
