BNSF 9273
Title:  BNSF 9273
Description:  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.

BNSF 9322
Title:  BNSF 9322
Description:  Southbound coal drops through The Sag. Less than 30 seconds after this shot, this scene was bathed in sunlight...I like having clouds in the sky, but that usually means hoping they're not blocking the sun when the train shows up!

A Trio of BNSF DPUs
Title:  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.
