This is shot from the I-10 Overpass after getting on the interstate in Baldwin. One can see the new runaround trains on the far left of the yard and the steel mill a yard job regulalry serves. Hopefully this yard will be reopened in the sooner than later future.

BNSF 4697, BNSF 6640, & NS 1068 (Erie Heritage Unit) sit near Robertsville, Mo. on the BNSF Cuba Sub. main at track mark Rook. A car with a burst air line made it possible for me to nab some photos and plenty of time to take a bunch.

Brought the Erie hertiage unit, never got a great shot, very disapointed in that.

Dropping off a few lumber cars to the local mill.
