I thought I was done with the Joint Line after moving to Alaska, but a 3-week trip to New Mexico for training allowed me to sneak away on the weekends back to my old stomping grounds. Fittingly, the first train I caught had a nice ACe up front, seen here rolling north with coal empties. |

A Trio of BNSF DPUs |
| Description: |
A little unusual for the BNSF on the Joint Line...typically BNSF's coal trains run 2x2, but this one was running 2x3. One thing that's interesting to me: even though these two ACes are older than the GEVO, it seems their paint is holding up better and not fading near as fast as the GEVO's. |
