Five GE's lead a hot Q-LANY on the eastend of Flagstaff. ATSF 510, 526, 513, and one other B40-8W with a B40-8 on the rear. Pictured underneath the San Francisco peaks of Flagstaff, Arizona.

Three nice looking B40-8W's 511, 501, 554 roll past what looks like a majestic lake with a hot JB Hunt train. In reality it's a deposit of spring run off at Challender, Arizona. That will dry up a... (more)

The sun has just came up, and it's going to be a good day. The sky is clear, and the Santa Fe is running beautiful trains.

She's alive. Nevada Northern 81 is all steamed up for the send off of number 40. When I visited the Nevada Northern for the first time in the summer of 2006, I never dreamed. That this little engi... (more)

In what has to be about the shortest coal train I've seen Union Pacific run. Two units 7657 and 2626 lead at most, I would guess, 50 coal hoppers on the Provo Subdivision.

The crew of this train, had to be feeling a bit snake bit. First they reported PTC issue at Smelter. Then the reason I got this shot, a detector reported an integrity failure, forcing them to slow... (more)

UP 5539, 6653 and two more DPU's, are hauling the Valmy coal train, across the Shafter subdivision. They are heading across the Western Pacific causeway, on the Great Salt Lake. Not alot of lake t... (more)

I saw Valmy coal train rolling through Grant Tower, on the way home from work, and the chase was on. First up LM Bryan. The coal dust is a flying.

An afternoon manifest is just east of Union Pacific's, Salt Lake City's North yard. It always feels kind of special to get a pure EMD lashup. SD70ACe 8843 and 8911.

110 year old number 40 shows off her beauty. As another day draws to an end. The fire has now been extinguished in her, and we won't see her for a couple years. When she returns, I'm sure she will... (more)

93 backs through the wye with it's train, for the return trip. 40 will pick up the remaining two cars.

Didn't dream, I was also going to get a shot of 93 leading a train on this trip. But when they split the train a Ruth. 93 pulled the lead section of the train back to Ely. They even designated it ... (more)

At Ruth for the return trip. The double header was broken up. 93 will take these cars and go through the wye, and be the lead train back. 40 will break off, go back and grab he two cars left behin... (more)

Nevada Northern 40 and 93 approach Ruth, end of the line.

It's pretty hard to chase the Nevada Northern and not get the tunnel shot. Especially when you have a historic double header. I'm very happy, I made the trip to get some shots of 40 before they sh... (more)
