BNSF Railway (BNSF) 9035 - EMD SD70ACe

A closer up view sees both units leading the train, some still stretched out into the distance.

The coal train passes the Stilwell station

The coal train rolls past the new sign at the county barn, recently erected to replace a more basic sign that just said "county barn no 2." This one has the county seal.

The head end and several cars of the coal train pass CR E 690.

And more mini wheats as the train passes the metal barn and another group of hay bales at CR E 690.

The hay bales stacked up near the tracks resemble frosted mini wheats as the train passes.

The next place I caught him was at one of my favorite spots north of Westville, passing a pasture normally full of grazing cows. Today, it will be mostly snowy pasture, still scenic.

Wed gone out to see what the world looked like following a weekend of snowfall, about ten inches worth. After breakfast in Gentry, we headed north to see if anything was running. We didnt quite make it to Decatur when we encountered this southbounfd TXUX train, here at MP 220.

About 10 minutes later came H-LINLIN1-12. I was crossing my fingers that this would have some sort of standard cab or localish looking power on the front. But, it was road power, and another ACe on top of that.
