A look at the actual transload facility at Wash. As you can see, there are 11 oil trucks currently unloading their oil in the pipeline that leads to the storage tanks.

The yard here at Wash has existed for decades, although for a long time, it had coal hoppers in it and there was a small coal transload facility here. Starting in 2015, the facility started to be converted to an oil transload facility. For the past several years, oil trains are loaded regularly here.

I found this unit to be rather interesting. Perhaps even one of a kind...the unit is a hybrid between the BNSF New Image paint scheme and the Heritage 2 paint scheme. I do not recall seeing a unit like this before. If there are more, such units, please feel free to comment on them!

Three Norfolk Southern units, an SD70ACe and two AC4400CWs, are currently working for BNSF. They units will be part of an eastbound oil load, once the train is ready. At the moment, they are sitting at the transload facility at Wash.

Six units sit at the oil transload facility at Wash. Interestingly, three of the units are Norfolk Southern. When I was headed to Utah from Colorado, I passed this power on an oil train at Parachute.
