Railroad photograph

This is what makes the Powder River Basin (Orin Sub) and amazing destination for a railfan. An eastbound BNSF coal load on Main 2 approaches the camera, moving along at the same speed as the coal load next to it on Main 1. A westbound UP coal empty zips away at close to track speed, which is 50 MPH.
