Rare BNSF power on Norfolk Southern E2Z (previously 055: windmill tower loads) eastbound on the EC-line from La Grange to Morehead City, NC during the quiet early-morning hours of Monday, April 22nd.
NS 055 was a unit windmill tower train from Pueblo, CO to Morehead City, NC. These unusual high/wide loads made for an interesting run on the former A&EC into coastal North Carolina. The towers are heading to the Timbermill Wind project near Edenton, NC, and the Port of Morehead City is serving as a transload point for towers and turbine generators. The 193ft windmill blades came in by ship from India.
Along with being the first unit windmill train for the Port of Morehead City, this was also the first time distributed power ran east of Selma, so the rear BNSF motor was a bizarre sight on the street running sections of New Bern and Morehead City.

Nice catch Very Rare BNSF Power.
Wow, excellent video, Crescent Limited Productions. love watching trains down home.
Love the night action! 13:18 is a great one
Wow amazing catch!
Very cool.
I've got a few photos of New Bern from back in the Age of Steam. You'd be surprised how many tracks and structures that were there back then compared to now. There was a Roundhouse and Turntable west of the station at one time, along with a track running up the street from Jacksonville that met the A&EC at a diamond in the street in front of the station.

Jacksonville used to have a rail yard back in the late 1950's ans 1960's. My Daddy used to take to the rail yard to watch Atlantic Coast Line switch cars on Saturday mornings. One Saturday morning the Engineer of ACL engine number 138 allow me and my Daddy to come aboard the engine and I got to push the throttle forward to move the engine. that was a Thrill for a 8 yr old boy. I am now 72 yrs old. The rail yard in Jacksonville had about 5 spurs next to US Highway 17, with one spur heading to Camp Lejuene to pick up the military cars. Back then the main line ran from New Bern to Wilmington.
So glad you caught this move CLP. I like your perspective. They pulled the last of these flats out behind the NS Savannah and Atlanta heritage unit, #1065.
one heckuva caboose
Good video. Enjoyed it.
Awesome video.
Great video Question Do any of thêse freight trains have cabooses?
Another rare catch.
What is the reason for so many empty flatbeds?
