Just north of the Hidden Valley Road grade crossing near the Nixon Power Plant, we catch a little bit of sun lighting up two fairly new ES44ACHs (or ES44AHs) on a southbound BNSF coal load. BNSF 3297 was delivered in September 2023 and BNSF 3329 was delivered in 2024. Both are Tier 4 credit units, part of a 50-unit order from GE (Wabtec).
