Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) 5083 - EMD SD70M

Unit trains, because of their uniform car type, are always a good subject for a telephoto shot. This is a look down the long line-106 cars-of a southbound oil train on the ex MP.

I was out for a ride that followed the MKT from Muskogee to Wagoner, among other places. I saw at least three oil trains, including this one on the ex MP side of Wagoner. The train was departing for Van Buren, then most likely on to Little Rock and Louisiana. The low light, blue sky, and golden grass made for a pretty photo.
