BNSF 3777 on point for a northbound covered hopper consist rushing through the by-pass lane around the yard.

BNSF 5078, BNSF 3777, and BNSF 7791 - BNSF 1088 on turn-table spur, yard by-pass, and road maintenance/top-off siding respectively in a near down-pour in no appreciable light in our area this time of year at this time of evening... plus I ran up to the edge of the bridge far too late (dang traffic - dont they know Im trying to cross the road for a reason? Wait, maybe not since who else except not completely sane people run around in the rain in a suit coat. Eh. At least one of them stopped and offered me buck and a ride to the shelter.)

CREX 1322 - BNSF 3777 holding with west-to-northbound line of covered hoppers in the new by-pass lane looking back across the north side of the middle yard, road readiness top-off lane, and United Grain in the hazy distance.

BNSF 3777 third on southbound covered hopper work - and speak of the devil, partially blocked by the round-table upper catwalk. I know everything changes, but it still looks odd to see ET44C4 instead of "ES" - dang, Im getting old(er). (gotta love it when the better-half chooses *now* to help look over and edit my text. Thanks, sweetie.)
