Nope! This coal train is 100% Union Pacific. BNSF is paying back UP some power-sharing hours. UP decided to keep all seven units together and here are five of the seven (the other two are bringing up the rear)! The train started off at the Cherokee Power Plant on the Belt Line and is headed for the Energy Mine on the Craig Branch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the distance (above the front half of the train), you can see a westbound BNSF manifest working its way through Clay. The manifest would ultimately hold in the siding at Plain for the passenger special to pass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
