This UP auto rack train has followed I-25 about as far as it is going to before heading toward Larkspur. Tomah Road is just out of view to the right in this shot.

An angle on the Joint Line that I haven't seen before. This is the end DPU of a southbound coal load that is rounding the curve that leads towards Larkspur.

When I first took this shot, I was very unhappy with the clouds that were casting a shadow over half the scene. However, the shot has actually grown on me now as I like the sunlight drawing the viewers eye to the lead units.

This coal load is making about 15 MPH as it climbs the 1.4% grade on the north edge of Larkspur. As more and more GEVOs and ACes arrive on BNSF, the sight of an SD70MAC leading is becoming less and less common. Ten years ago, that is all would see on these trains.

Wrapping its way through an S-Curve in between Greenland and Larkspur, this northbound is making good time moving at track speed, 45 MPH. If you look, you can just barely see I-25 in the background.
