Description:  Yep, such a wonderful place with powerlines, verticals, horizontals, garbage, etc. Yep, a busy yard is shown in all of its raw self as the NSINTW is blocked out by the sand hoses, and visitor BCOL 4620 sits off to the side. The three SD40-2's are part of fleet of hump sets around here.

BN-UP
Title:  BN-UP
Description:  With the mainline being so dang bland, I have to resort to shooting the BN-UP. In the past this job always had GP28M's, and It was always the same ones, so I ignored it most of the time (hey, there were better things to shoot, like BNSF SD40-2's leading stack trains!), but lately this pair has caught my attention. I was pleased to find the 2814 leading today, a very nice looking classic!
