WOW! Talk about Undulating track. I bet that area has eaten LOTS of knuckles. Great shot with a great perspective. It shows that the railroad is anything but flat.

Very cool shot Donald. Looks like a roller coaster.
|
I agree with the first comment. WOW!

Very nice.
|
great shot Donald!!!!!!!
Looks like a snake ;)
|
WOW. I bet they have one heck of a time taking loads up that hill.
|
Beautiful shot, Donald! I think there might have been an accident with the locomotive type: SD9? ES44AC! Very nice photo, Donald. The clarity is really nice, too!
|
I'd just love to see a video of this spot. Great shot.
|
Like any job, railroading really has its ups and downs. Great shot.
|
Really an amazing shot Don.
|
Wow! Stunning telemash. Looks like one crazy roller coaster ride for the crew.
|
Reminds me of a toy I used to play with when once a child....the name escapes me now. One heck of a shot and doesn't look physically possible. Check out the rough track also.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and encouragement. I enjoyed the opportunity to take this photo while visiting a great friend who works for the BNSF and lives in the Fort Worth area. Also, thank you for pointing out the incorrect engine type. I had looked it up with multiple searches and many results indicate the SD9, but I also found one that states it is an ES44AC and I trust the members here know what they are talking about!
|
Nice shot of the rolling hills.
|
Donald, don't feel bad, the BNSF still lists these as SD9's occasionally...Beautiful shot as well!
|
Great Shot!
|
One of the best railroad shots that I have seen!
|
What can I say now?
Simply enthralling and awesome together!
|
Nice picture! You must have hiked a little off the road to get it. I wonder what a load shot would look like on top of the hill? The entire route to Texas is a roller coaster... this is why these trains are run 2+2 DP and are shorter (120 cars to fit in sidings) than the trains on the Central Corridor (130 up to 150 car sets).
