This southbound HLAUDEN (Laurel, MT to Denver, CO) is about to pass beneath US-36. The train has an ES44C4 on the point. Despite having six axles, only four of them are powered, making this unit an A1A-A1A unit (instead of a C-C unit). The center axles are not powered, but help to disperse the weight of the unit on the rails. So far, only BNSF has ordered these. What's more, EMD will be competing with the C4 by creating their own similar unit. EMDs unit will differ slightly in that their truck configuration will be B1-1B. The unit will be called an SD70ACe-P4 and should be arriving any time.
Note the conductor in the cab, giving a friendly wave!

Paul, most of the snow did indeed melt away as it was a beautiful weekend. However, we got another inch or so today, so most spots off the road have a new layer today. Still nothing like what it sounds like Salt Lake has.

Great pictures Kevin, it looks like your snow is about gone. I just came back from Salt Lake, they still have lots of snow around.
