BNSF 8079 heads south in the afternoon
Roster Shot.
BNSF 2341, BNSF 2278, & BNSF 2930 await their next assignment at BNSFs N. St. Louis Yard on a dreary day.
BNSF 2930 at the south end of the power corral, sunset warming her bottom, presumed daily duty done for the day.
BNSF 2930 - BNSF 1504 high-balling it (as hard as these units can) northward through Felida a few ticks before the southbound Amtrak is scheduled to barrel through the area. (Exhaust ruins the effect that 2930 is in the lead... oh well! Maybe it was a _really_ hard wind?)
Geeps with garbage train.
The Annie local crosses a tidal inlet of Padilla Bay.
The Thornwood local departs Burlington yard behind a set of "greenies".
Two trains on the move at Burlington - a Pasco-VBT with a CREX leader on the left, and the Annie local pulling out of the yard on the right.

This unit was part of the consist getting ready to roll north out of Bayside.

A mixed freight consist leaving Everett's Bayside Yard presumably headed for Canada. Nice power combo.

It was a nice combination of cascade green engines and a pumpkin B unit.
BNSF train 815, the Annie local, crosses a tidal inlet of Padilla Bay with an abbreviated consist. BNSF 2930 was originally UP GP35 753.
A string of covered hoppers rolls down the eastbound main as a helper and a snowplow consist wait in the small yard at Essex, MT.
On a sunny but cold late winter afternoon, all is quiet in the helper yard outside the Isaak Walton hotel in Essex, MT. Just about my favorite place on the planet!
Still looks nice "patched"!

The spud local is a few minutes away from its destnation of Wenachee.
The lead unit is the same one I caught in Seattle on a work train a year and 1/2 ago. It hasn't seen a wash rack in at least that long, since Snow Pigs is still written above the number boards. The door was open because it was HOT that day!
Taken by my Mom, Rock Island WA.
Stacked up just east of Parkwater, the old NP yards
a mix of former BN & ATSF power creep through the yard...
After picking up some cars at Garrison, the "Montana Western RR of BNSF" heads back towards Butte under some very threatening skies.
The Rarus Railway's Butte-Anaconda mainline passes overhead, and the bridge to the left was once to go over the Milwaukee.
a couple of locos and a couple of plows sit idle here in the yard
Around the curve westbound with empty grain...
Westbound grain empties...
Grain train westbound through Powell...
Speeding past Station Sign Arvilla as the sun slips below the horizon...
Headed toward another beautiful sunset leaving Grand Forks on the Devil's Lake Sub...
West local accelerates out of the yard and past Station Sign DL Switch on its way to MP 26 to drop its load...
BNSF 2930 and 1533 lead the South Local north on the Hillsboro Sub during the last few moments before sunset.
