Viewing Album:  Cerrajón Mining 1026 (Columbia) Export Unit on H-TEAAMY 1-18A
 
By:Philip M. Goldstein
Dates:8/18/2022 - 8/18/2022
Album Info:With a plentiful and gracious heads up from my inside source, I was alerted to this coming through on the H-TEAAMY 1-18A. As stated to me “a “weird looking color schemed engine” departing Teague third in consist at 16:00 which would put it through Flynn at approximately 17:15. Now, it’s been blisteringly hot and dry here for the last 2½ months, so no railfanning for me. Of course this comes through and we’ve got a major thunderstorm line bearing down from the west. Trust me, we need the rain desperately, but the timing? What was going to get here first: the locomotive or the storm line? Well, the locomotive made it by about 5 minutes before the rain. No sooner does the EOT pass me does the first line of downpours hit. I was fortunate enough to catch the logo. Cerrajón carbón para el mundo Progreso para Columbia. Which translates to” Coal for the world, Progress for Columbia Cerrajón Mining located in La Guajira, Columbia is an open pit low sulfur low ash bituminous coal mine. Photos on the internet show Cerrajón had a fleet of GE B36-7 units and is in the progress of upgrading to ES44ACs.
