Out in the plains
Title:  Out in the plains
Description:  Eastern New Mexico is mostly wide open grassland, as seen here with a westbound rolling across the vast expanse. For some reason, NM DOT posts US 60 here at 55 MPH. If theres a reason for it, I cant figure it out. Makes chasing a challenge.

Somehow not the same
Title:  Somehow not the same
Description:  A westbound splits the signals, now a pair of "Darth Vader" signals, near Shattuck Okla. They will undoubtedly become classics at some point, but for now, they dont have nearly the appeal of the old Santa Fe gantry mounted lights.

Bright future
Title:  Bright future
Description:  The trailing unit is one of the 1000 SD70MACs BN acquired in the 90s for coal service. Many of them have now been displaced in that work by newer power, and have found their way into the general freight pool. This last unit is still(mostly) in its original paint, but the second unit, another Grinstein, is now in "Swoosh" paint. Hopefully this is a bodes well for its future!!

Dark skies
Title:  Dark skies
Description:  I was heading west on US 60 when I ran across this guy going east with 87 cars. The sky, which was clear when I left the house in Arkansas, was now getting really dark, so much so that I'm down to 1/60 second. I dont get up here that much; I hate when the one day I go somewhere different, the weather tanks.

Dark sand
Title:  Dark sand
Description:  I tend to get to the old Frisco in the afternoon. BNSF rewards me by sending eastbounds, which are hard to shoot sometimes. This one caught me in the wrong spot, and I grabbed the only shot I had, into the sun. So it goes. 80 empty sand hoppers go east near the Missouri line.

Pulling away
Title:  Pulling away
Description:  We had chased this westbound stack train here, where it stopped at the west end of the siding at Racine to check for a defect. Problem solved, the train slowly pulled away, the late day sun glinting off the long line of containers.

Days of Future Past
Title:  Days of Future Past
Description:  With apologies to the Moody Blues....the new order, in the form of a BNSF GE pulling a stack train, passes a relic of the past in the shape of an old Frisco caboose as the westbound stack rolls west with 123 platforms.

Pseudo station
Title:  Pseudo station
Description:  The folks in Pierce City, in homage to their Frisco past, built this city building to look like a train station. It makes a nice prop, even if its not part of the railroad.

Racing
Title:  Racing
Description:  Actually, not hardly. The engineer had reported a problem to the dispatcher, and he was slowing for an approach signal, stopping at the other end of the siding to check something. Hed move again about 20 minutes later.
