Somehow not the same |

A westbound splits the signals, now a pair of "Darth Vader" signals, near Shattuck Okla. They will undoubtedly become classics at some point, but for now, they dont have nearly the appeal of the old Santa Fe gantry mounted lights. |

Bright future |
| Description: |
The trailing unit is one of the 1000 SD70MACs BN acquired in the 90s for coal service. Many of them have now been displaced in that work by newer power, and have found their way into the general freight pool. This last unit is still(mostly) in its original paint, but the second unit, another Grinstein, is now in "Swoosh" paint. Hopefully this is a bodes well for its future!! |

Dark skies |

I was heading west on US 60 when I ran across this guy going east with 87 cars. The sky, which was clear when I left the house in Arkansas, was now getting really dark, so much so that I'm down to 1/60 second. I dont get up here that much; I hate when the one day I go somewhere different, the weather tanks. |

Dark sand |

I tend to get to the old Frisco in the afternoon. BNSF rewards me by sending eastbounds, which are hard to shoot sometimes. This one caught me in the wrong spot, and I grabbed the only shot I had, into the sun. So it goes. 80 empty sand hoppers go east near the Missouri line. |

Racing |

My friend David Sommer was in town on his way west, and we had a couple of days to check out the action. Monday was a washout, but we went out anyway, catching this westbound as we arrived in Neosho. I beat him here to Racine, but he was racing. We did our best to keep up, but staying at 65 MPH on that two lane blacktop was not in the cards. |

Days of Future Past |
| Description: |
With apologies to the Moody Blues....the new order, in the form of a BNSF GE pulling a stack train, passes a relic of the past in the shape of an old Frisco caboose as the westbound stack rolls west with 123 platforms. |

Pseudo station |
| Description: |
The folks in Pierce City, in homage to their Frisco past, built this city building to look like a train station. It makes a nice prop, even if its not part of the railroad. |

Racing |
| Description: |
Actually, not hardly. The engineer had reported a problem to the dispatcher, and he was slowing for an approach signal, stopping at the other end of the siding to check something. Hed move again about 20 minutes later. |

The bells of St Marys |
| Description: |
Our westbound stacker waits in the company of St Marys Catholic Church. Its prayers will be answered shortly as an eastbound comes by, allowing it to once again proceed west. |

Gaining on him |
| Description: |
I was driving north on Wis 35 trying to catch this westbound sand train that had passed me in Prairie du Chien, and had about caught him. I dont get to this part of Wisconsin but every couple of years, so of course the weather is dismal. We see a pair of GEs across one of the many side channels of the Mississippi, one still in warbonnet in a view from the side window of my Winnebago. Interestingly, the BNSF 777 is not the first unit of that number I have seen here. I shot SOO 777 across the river leading west in June 1987. |

Caught him |
| Description: |
I was trying to get a shot across the water, but this was the best I could go, given that I was coming to a speed restriction on the road, so took this. Nice place to watch and photograph trains, but I need to come here when the weather is better, and I can spend some time. |
