Strange power shows up on M338 these days! Today's version had the BNSF 120, BNSF 9736, BNSF 326.

Taking "hot train" to a new level, the Phoenix bound 9-197-25 speeds west with flames erupting from a 500 series B40-8W near Williams Jct. in May 1994.

Downtown Wichita Falls.

A welcome sight on the former ATSF mainline

A colorful trio of BNSF locomotives (Warbonnet GP60M, H1 GP38-2 and Bluebonnet GP35) lead the CHI102 local through Lockport, heading for Joliet (to switch the yard) and ultimately, Galesburg.

It's been a long climb up from Belen and the Rio Grande river crossing, but three GP60Ms and a GP35 will soon be able to breathe easier, reaching the top of the grade at Mountainair.

BNSF 110 slowly rolls away from me as it trails behind work train HA90 as it places ties along the ROW for some upcoming track work.

Another shooter heads west on the transcon.
