UP has a small yard at Bill, WY, about 45 miles north of the south end of the Powder River Basin. This is a crew change point for many UP trains on the way to or from the mine. A single UP empty awaits a recrew this morning, ready to head west to the mines.

The sun is sinking in the western sky, revealing a brilliant sunset after evening storms. A southbound BNSF train passes through the OS of the West Bill Crossover on its way south on Main 1.

In addition to a staging yard for BNSF, there is a car repair facility located a few miles south of Bill, WY in the Powder River Basin. Considering how many coal cars run across the line in a 24 hour period (if you include trips to and from the mine, that number a good estimate is 18,400 cars per 24 hours!), it makes sense to have a facility onsite that can handle repairs.

A BNSF coal load is coming down Main Two at Bill continuing its journey east out of the Powder River. On Main Four (to the left), a UP coal load is stopped at the depot in Bill waiting for a fresh crew. Maintenance is never ending along the tracks here...note the front end loader to the right moving along an access road.

A southbound BNSF coal load with a nice consist - a trio of ES44ACs - passes through the very long OS section of the crossovers at MP 80.8. The train has a clear signal at west bill as it heads east on Main Three.
