Apologies for the grainly/low-light shot here. It is nearly a half hour past sunset as this BNSF Denver-Provo manifest heads slowly west at Leyden. The train would have arrived much sooner (and with more light), but it developed engine problems after leaving Denver and creeped up and in to Leyden at 10 MPH. The train will stop ahead between switches to figure out the problem.

Normally, I wouldn't bother trying to get a shot in such extreme low-light conditions. However, with SD9043MACs all but gone from US railroads, I figured it was worth it! This SD9043MAC went from UP to Indiana Railroad. The shortline received four of these (on lease) from CIT Leasing in July 2016. It was either a very short lease, or Indiana Railroad was not happy with the units. Whatever the reason, Norfolk Southern bought them and, as you can see, patched them. But for now, they are still in Indiana Railroad colors. So this was an interesting catch worth the low-light conditions!
