They piled up as best they could in the middle of a cut. Here is the front of the dog pile along with Omnitrax switcher OMLX 1451.

With that requirement completed, a new warrant has been issued and the crew throttles up to continue south. You can always count on GE's to put on a good show when throttling up!

The second unit has to be just about the cleanest H2 units on the roster! It is one of the few SD75Ms on BNSFs roster to lose its Warbonnet scheme in favor on the Heritage 2 scheme. Meanwhile, it looks like that CSX C40-8W has seen better days! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
