UP 5332
Title:  UP 5332
Description:  UP 5332 leading a group of three charging hard with string of northbound covered hoppers around the lower corner into the at-grade crossing area in Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge - with Rail Police sitting in the distance (funny how that makes you feel like a criminal just out taking pictures of trains) - so we didnt hang around to see who the green was set up for from the north. Note the color changes in the trees and lack of leaves is actually from drought, oddly enough (for us) having no real measurable precipitation for almost three months now and record high temperatures.

BNSF 9719
Title:  BNSF 9719
Description:  BNSF 9719 in the lead crossing the path of the sun - I have no clue how you people that shoot in sunny climates can do this. Sure, the sun feels great while youre waiting, but for that fifteen seconds of train-endorphin-rush, it sucks! Wait... fifteen minutes of wonderful, warm sun, no rain, wind, or drizzle... or fifteen seconds of... huh, I take that back, I dont feel sorry for you. Wanna trade?

NS 9141
Title:  NS 9141
Description:  NS 9141 as probably unit two of two on the front of a northbound double-stack flicking between breaks of the trees. Honest! Theres a train in there. (Although it shows how desperate a rail-hunter can get while out looking at birds (I prefer to spot the frogs, turtles, nutria, ES44s, uh, oops? A little distracted) and give more credit to finding the biggest spot in the trees to shoot the lead unit (UP 8266) through all this.) (I guess I should also emphasize, were in drought around here, believe it or not, otherwise this picture wouldnt have been possible.)

Description:  UP 5671 another Union Pacific northbound on BNSF trackage, this time a northbound double-stack (yes, only containers on this one) heading up a trio on the front with lone pusher to come (odd how BNSF is turning away from this while UP in our area is picking up the BNSF 3:1 habit).
