UP and BNSF Trains
Title:  UP and BNSF Trains
Description:  I finally pulled off the true over over under shot at Santa Fe Jct./BNSF Crossing. Every train in the shot was moving, albeit the move on the bottom, UP Train MLIKS 11, was slow rolling up to a red signal at Santa Fe Jct. However, BNSF Train S LPCLBA1 12A on the KCT Argentine Connection Flyover was flying along at around 30 MPH, and UP Train MDMKS 13 on the KCT High Line was moving along at 20 MPH or so. This photo appeared in the February 2012 issue of Railroads Illustrated Magazine and the December 2012 issue of Trains Magazine.

Cold Morning
Title:  Cold Morning
Description:  Just to the west of Las Animas Colo US Hwy 50 crosses over the BNSF on a bridge that affords some nice shots of eb trains. On this rather very cold late February morning we find an EB/SB UP Wind Energy Train that got stopped by a detector and which has the crew walking the train. I believe the temps were in the single digits if not below 0. At least the sun was out.
