Pointing its nose into the morning light, BNSF 7223 drifts downgrade from Tunnel 1 and into Caliente with a Willow Springs, IL - North Bay, CA intermodal train. Making good time on the mountain this morning, this train is less than an hour away from getting onto the flats of the Central Valley where it will be able to reach speeds of 70 mph as it races north toward its final destination.
