BHRR Taconite Train BH-1 General smokes it up as the engineer gives his 3 SD40-2's more throttle after having just departed East Thomas Yard after BNSF interchanged a U-KEEBIR Taconite Train to BHRR at East Thomas Yard, the BHRR comes over from Ensley, Al. to bring empties when needed, but sometimes runs light engines if BNSF doesnt need anything from BHRR, the Taconite is brought to Flint Ridge by BHRR for U.S. Steel, at one time this business was handled by Birmingham Southern Railroad which was bought out by WATCO last year |

Birmingham Terminal Railway |
| Description: |
BHRR Northbound Taconite Train BH-1 General rumbles through East Thomas, Al. on their way to Flint Ridge for delivery to U.S. Steel, BNSF delivers the taconite to BHRR at East Thomas Yard where BHRR comes with interchange, usually taconite empties & sometimes general freight for BNSF, the BHRR retrieves taconite loads that go to U.S. Steel. BNSF runs these taconite trains as U-KEEBIR & U-SEMBIR, sometimes an empty coal train gets delivered as a U-EOLBIR & gets loaded at Ensley or Birmingport & gets sent back north to Eola, Illinois loaded with coal, its an unusual move where coal goes north loaded, but usually runs south loaded & north empty |
