TMPA/Limestone Coal Train

This train could be used anywhere on the Burlington Northern system, but I'm modeling it serving either the TMPA Gibbons Creek Steam Station in Carlos, Texas or the Limestone Electric Generating Station in Jewett, Texas. This train would bring Power River coal from Amarillo via the Fort Worth & Denver to Tower 55, then follow Southern Pacific's Fort Worth Branch to Waxahachie, Texas where it would get back on the Burlington-Rock Island for the rest of the trip to Carlos or Jewett.

The cars are a mix of Walthers Bethlehem hoppers, Walthers Pullman Standard rotary gondolas and Athearn Thrall rotary gondolas. Each is equipped with Glatzl dummy couplers.
