BNSF 9121 is moving along the south (west) end of the Angora Sub at track speed as the train approaches the grade crossing of Logan County Road 46. Just ahead, the train has an Approach Medium (flashing yellow) aspect, so the train will start to slow. Upon reaching Sterling, CTC comes to an end and the train will enter yard limits. It will have to do so at restricted speed, hence the aspects of the coming signals and the beginning of the reduction in speed at this point.

After a day shooting the Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado Railway, I was hoping to find a BNSF train headed for Denver for the chase home. I headed east on the Angora Sub and came across a westbound coal load between Buchanan and Sterling. The clouds had pretty much blown out by this afternoon, so the late afternoon winter lighting was fantastic!

This southbound coal load is pulling up a hill on the main at Buchanan, about 14 miles north of Sterling, CO. This is the last siding north of Sterling and the last CTC siding roughly 40 miles! The next CTC siding is New Hillrose on the Brush Sub.

My personal favorite shot of this rather crummy, overcast day! The DPU on this southbound BNSF coal load passes by the iconic "Welcome to Colorful Colorado" sign that you can find along all (or at least most) of the road border crossings into Colorado. This crossing is on CO-131 between Peetz, CO and Lorenzo, NE.

In between Peetz, CO and Lorenzo, NE, we find the Colorado/Nebraska state line on CO-131. We also find a southbound BNSF coal load about to cross said border into Colorado.
