BNSF 644s work has come to an end for the day, but BNSF 1416s work is just beginning as the triclops SD60M is fired up and begins pulling a cut of cars out of the yard.
The R-CHI655 power heads off to grab their two cars that they would take south that evening.

Burlington Northerns Galesburg Terminal is looking a bit more like Santa Fes Galesburg Terminal this evening!
Once the extra GALCHI left, I saw power for that evenings R-CHI655 approaching from the south. I accidently mistook this power for that evenings L-CHI103 that would have gone north on the Barstow Sub that evening. The R-CHI655 is the local that goes south on the Quincy side, and if I would have known better, I would have had a perfectly litl Warbonnet going south this evening. Oh well.
