A pair of executive MACs, BNSF 9610 & 9629, cruise down hill with an eastbound loaded coal train.

A BN Executive SD70MAC makes for a nice leader on this westbound stack train, as it rolls through Streator. Numerous ties lay alongside the right of way for an upcoming project.

An entire grain train is visible in this one shot. Leading is a former BN executive SD70MAC, followed by a ubiquitous GE Dash-9. Four MRL SD70ACes can be seen in distance helping the train up the ... (more)

A pair of executive SD70MACs power the Butte, MT to Garrison local on a beautiful summer morning. The pair pause in the small yard at Garrison while a crew member switches the track behind me.

What I did on my Summer vacation, redux: Westbound oil train cuts through the dense morning fog, with an Executive leading. That aside, how do they run on this horrendous track.

Another load of Bakken crude oil rumbles through Guilderland, NY on a gloomy afternoon. Nice to see an executive scheme with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe logo still intact.

An executive leader moves some oil under a classic C&O signal bridge. These signals and associated code line can still be found along the former C&O north of Columbus, OH.

The much maligned BNSF 'Executive' scheme looks rather striking in black and white.

A couple of BNSF units, one wearing a Heritage III scheme and one carrying the Executive scheme, are ready for the call to duty in the Denver Yard.
