BNSF 999 leads an early afternoon eastbound through town

BNSF 752 middle of the road stop-n-go top-off and maintenance-three under a sunny, cold sunset glinting off the newer holding silos of United Grain in the background. (If the Sony wont give a crisp picture in sun, I dont know what to say - but the northern-most unit (cropped completely form this picture) was so fuzzy on the horizontal shots I couldnt read the road number clear enough to post it. Wow. Not quite as close as my shooting-fish-in-a-barrel area, but dang, folks, its just across the road and down the slope - its not like I have the lens racked out to 300mm equivalent.)

BNSF 7078 - BNSF 752 picking up speed shuffling a long string of empty double-stack well-cars north through the night rain (uh, wait, what time is it? Sorry, its ten in the morning, not ten at night - my mistake - cant see _how_ I couldve thought it was night since the camera meter was cursing me for hand holding this at that level of zoom promising me endless woe - probably just pissed about how wet the camera was getting as the clouds opened up as I stepped to the middle of the bridge.) BNSF 3186 (orange nose on sort duty, lights off to the left of the frame) - at least someone had the good sense to just sit out the downpour.

BNSF 752 in second, but conscientiously keeping her eye back on the long line of empty well-cars trailing off in the distance behind her on the trip toward Seattle from Vancouver. Has anyone considered the silver-red with orange A/C might actually be the official livery colors?

CSX Q438 cleared just in time for me to photo the engines on the K044.

A BNSF intermodal train with a warbonnet is the 2nd to last train we see on an amazing railfanning day.

Here are 4 reasons to love BNSFs transcontinential mainline. 5 different paint schemes are seen on this EB intermodal (Two BNSFs are off cam).

A pumpkin patch grows behind the hump of Frontier yard during easter weekend.

Easter afternoon oil train eastbound to Selkirk at Stone Rd. crossing.

Locust at 1824.

The evening light can make anything look majestic, such as this Fakebonnet on K044 at Locust at 1824.

CSX Q438 cleared just in time for me to photo the engines on the K044.

Just as the last car on the Q438 cleared, the K044 headed past. Was glad to see this engine leading!

Crude oil loads heading westbound on the Lehigh Line.

Nice leader & paint still nice too!

Two Warbonnets in the consist head east past a Union Pacific double stack westbound at the Amtrak station, 3:53pm.
