BNSF 2026 is leading a mix of former Burlington Northern and Santa Fe passenger equipment a few mile west of Alliance. A pivot is currently running, showering growing crops in water under partly cloudy skies.

BNSF 2026 brings up tail end of the OALNALN8-31A on Main 1 west of Alliance. The train has a clear signal ahead, but it will ultimately get (very briefly) held up at Berea to meet an eastbound coal load.

Along with BNSF 1776, BNSF painted a second ES44AH and numbered it 2026. In 1976, for the bicentennial, many railroads painted two units in red, white, and blue and numbered them 1776 and 1976.

BNSF 1776 leads a mix of former Burlington Northern and Santa Fe passenger equipment. The train is headed west on Main 1. It will need to meet a coal load at Berea, where two main tracks drop to a single track, so it is not moving at track speed.
