I saw a train go down the line near my house on the UP Choctaw line which runs thru Watauga and Keller (Texas) with a strange consist:

Norfolk Southern power (3 engines) moving BNSF railcars, mostly marked biofuel tankers and low hopper cars - southbound

Was there a problem with BNSF's lines in North Fort Worth? I've never seen anything come down that line that wasn't using UP yellow power (consists are always interesting mix).

I suspect most of that train was put together in Nebraska....

I'm no railfan, so couldn't tell you what model locomotives (black and NS livery is best I can do... add in clean, but it is nighttime), thought I would post this because it was so strange.
