																				An ES44C4 and an ES44AC lead a westbound unit grain train, sometimes referred to as an "earthworm", westbound along a fantastically green field just outside Hemingford, NE. Two main tracks start at Hemingford and this train will take Main 1 west up and over Crawford Hill. An afternoon storm is building in the distance.

																				A westbound grain train is on a eight mile stretch of single track between Berea and Hemingford. A manifest is waiting on Main 2 at Hemingford, about a mile ahead, for the grain train. Two coal loads are stacked up behind the manifest, too.
 The lead unit here, BNSF 4252, is a Tier 4 "credit unit". BNSF had some emissions credits saved up that allowed them to purchase some Tier 3 units even after the Tier 4 deadline.
