Posted by Patrick McColgan on June 3, 2017  Baretables with trailers loaded? Could you please elaborate Craig? Posted by Coast Sub Photography on June 3, 2017  I think it could technically count as a baretable if all trailers are empty. Posted by Craig Walker on June 5, 2017  If it is a Baretable train, why does it have trailers or containers? BNSF quite often runs Inventory Repositioning trains (also known as “Repo-trains”), which are intermodal trains hauling empty containers. They also sometimes use spine cars as well. These “baretables” often travel westward to Los Angeles’ Hobart Yard or San Bernardino, CA, from terminals to the north and east North Bay CA, Phoenix AZ and Denver CO) that don’t have nearly as equal a balance of inbound versus outbound freight. The railroad can symbol the trains as a “B” due to their light tonnage, which allows them to be run with different restrictions than loaded trains.
