A recently arrived empty grain train, BNSF X-EAPBTL9-06A, has just begun loading its 116 cars. This process will take a while – reportedly about 10 hours. However, 14 of this train's covered hoppers have defective roof hatches, rending them unloadable. This will speed up the loading process but, unfortunately, cut down on the amount of corn this elevator is able to load for shipment to Hereford TX . At 6,765 feet (2.06 km) in length, this train's diesels. ES44DC 7773 and AC4400CW 5659. are not too far behind the rear of the train as it rounds the loop to be loaded.
