At Donkey Creek Junction, this BNSF southbound is headed around the east leg of the wye toward the Power River Basin. Due to the way the timetable is setup, this train is about to change from a westbound (heading geographically west on the Black Hills Sub) to an eastbound (heading geographically south on the Orin Sub)!

A look at Donkey Creek Junction at the north end of the Powder River Basin. There are crossovers between the three mains here and then two tracks head east toward the Black Hills Sub and one heads west toward the Big Horn Sub.

It doesn't get much better than this! There are clear, blue skies and it is 85 degrees out at Donkey Creek Junction just east of Gillette, WY. Here, this coal load (with a fresh crew) will turn east on the Black Hills Subdivision and head for Crawford Hill in Nebraska and points beyond.
