AMTK 60 |
| Description: |
AMTK 60 preparing to duck under the 39th Street over-pass, a portion of the service area visible in the background along with all the other action at the same time as BNSF 9142 with her power triple pulls out of the fill-up station, CREX 1323 - BNSF 4914 power double move south toward the power corral behind the long building in the distance (RIP track and covered repair areas) along with all the other commotion - and the clock ticking to the start of Sunday evening service. No matter - the sun is shining, its warm, and there are trains without the rains - no serious complaints here. |

BNSF 4682 |
| Description: |
BNSF 4682 as part of a power double shuffle in the middle of action, usually obscuring views of the pair - unbelievably this is the best shot (only) shot of the unit retrieved that wasnt odd-angles and poor lighting (ha! You thought _this_ one was poorly done shooting into the sun with severe shadow and bright obnoxious power line running through the image - you should have seen the crappy shots). (Although did I mention the sun was shining, it wasnt raining, and it was warm?) |

BNSF 5033 |
| Description: |
BNSF 5033 part of an either way power duo shuffle on a busy early October evening under bright sun and warm temperatures - lots happening, but no clear pictures to be had. (Although this folder makes more sense than the September one I tried to resume editing upon for October - go figure, "09" and "10" are _not_ the same! Getting old sure is fun - unfortunately not old enough yet to be considered cute when this happens.) |

BNSF 5528 showing the Norfolk Southern Railways suggested renaming scheme, contrary to my BnsF idea post-merger. (Itll be funny if my running commentary on the yet-to-be-announced BNSF acquisition of NS is presented after the dust settles from the insider trading suits as evidence that _everyone_ knew about it, so it wasnt really insider trading leading the announcement.) |

BNSF 7309 up in the ladder of the north yard entrance along Fruit Valley road showing the nice new light pole... and shed... and guard rail. What do you mean railfan viewing was _not_ considered during planning? Darn lucky youre no longer publicly traded... would hate to have to pick up a share of BNSF stock just to put the idea on next years annual meeting. Thatll teach me for only holding UNP and CSX... but those two should be on notice for impending stock-holder submitted resolutions. |

Someone took an ugly stick to this unit, for sure... uh, and selected to lead the way as proper representative of the BNSF empire (insert squished, painful look on face here) - although I do understand putting an orange A/C unit BACK on this one - she needs all the help she can get. Then again, it is sunset, and you know what they say about all the girls at closing time... Leading a southbound mixed freight into Vancouver and the highly visible station area. Good luck with that. |

BNSF 5198 - BNSF 5493 |
| Description: |
BNSF 5198 - BNSF 5493 as number two and three on a southbound double- ... what? What do you mean that doesnt count? If I can read the registry numbers, it does SO count, dang it! AND it has artistic fall colors complimenting the power livery in the background in diesel exhaust blur! So of COURSE it counts. Sheesh. Tough audience. |

BNSF 7242 - BNSF 5198 |
| Description: |
BNSF 7242 - BNSF 5198 in first and second on a triple-header double-stack aimed southbound in the passing lane in early November where we managed to dodge what shouldve been a deluge or rain - instead, barely cloudy with only a few spits of rain. The altered weather pattern actually creating some color in the trees as they lose their leaves (at least the ones that survived the summer drought and didnt go into early stress leaf loss). |

BNSF 8017 |
| Description: |
BNSF 8017 showing up in third position on a triple-header coal drag... and, no, this image has no right to be posted, except I find it beyond hilarious showing all that can go wrong when caught in the wrong position and location when something happens in the distance and I couldnt help but laugh at the prop-wash (diesel exhaust / heat shimmer from BNSF 5473 (posted in the Service Area folder if you want to see the whole unit, not just the smoke stack) ) blurring everything up, as if the little pocket snapper didnt have enough problems at 500mm being held by a little fat guy balanced on a sewer pipe trying to get as high as possible to snap over the roofs of the power corral units in the service area. Enjoy the chuckle. |

BNSF 9876 |
| Description: |
BNSF 9876 bottom-end first as the middle unit on a threesome with coal consist headed north on the mainline as seen from back behind the service area in a small peek through the various buildings... shown more to say "See? All those poles and buildings lean every-which-way! And I have to try to figure out true vertical?" Cant even blame wide-angle on this one, because the little camera is racked out to 500mm equivalent on the zoom. |

BNSF 6021 |
| Description: |
BNSF 6021 barreling out from under the 39th Street over-pass leading a triple out of the sunset darkness in front of the maintenance area in the distance, capping off a day of close calls / near-misses - and a significant shutter lag stumbling out of the car which refused to unlatch the seatbelt or unlock the door as this one was caught in the briefest of moments before disappearing behind the trees. |

BNSF 6526 |
| Description: |
BNSF 6526 showing up in third position on the front of a southbound mixed freight rushing into the sunset from below the over-pass as I manage to click the shutter one last time before falling off my perch atop the front wheel (What? You dont use that small space between the top of the front wheel and the wheel well to cram your feet into to get that extra couple feet of height to shoot over fences? Just because then you tend to fall various directions and not be able to remove your feet fast enough? Ha! Id laugh at you... just as soon as I get the gravel and road grit out of my hands and palms.) |
