NREX 8543
Title:  NREX 8543
Description:  The 3rd Tunnel Motor I've ever laid eyes on was this gem(?) on a UP autorack train. I think, but have to proof, it may have come from Birmingham, MO.

Meet on the bridge
Title:  Meet on the bridge
Description:  As you can barely tell, this lovely bridge is double deck, both layers for railroad traffic. Here we see an NS powered autorack train starting out onto the bridge with a UP coal train well on his way across the river.

UP 5862
Title:  UP 5862
Description:  The only problem with railfanning this general area is that UP trains can appear from "nowhere" like this coal train (and a few others) did. Since the shot for BNSF trains was better, I chose to just shoot where I was standing.

UP 6004
Title:  UP 6004
Description:  A fairly clean UP Flag unit is on the point of THIS empty coal train. The DPU unit on the rear was quite interesting.

UP 6259
Title:  UP 6259
Description:  I was not entirely sure I was going to get a shot of this unit, as another train had come and was blocking things!

UP 6591
Title:  UP 6591

UP 6884
Title:  UP 6884
Description:  Having all these coal trains with DP units on them give you a few more angles to work with. Obviously, this is my "normal" spot, waiting for a BNSF train. I failed to get a shot of the head-end of this train, due to the fact it was blocked by another train. Go figure!

Title:  UP 7328
Description:  This train came shortly after ythe KCS train I managed to catch right after I got here. This train was crossing over as there was a crewless IC&E train on the other track he needed to get around.
