| BNSF 4005 - CSX 7719 - BNSF 4872 the triple-header on a mostly covered hopper northbound that had moved more slowly into the north-yard and passing lane-mains area a couple hours earlier in the morning - now found sitting just north of the yard shuffling back and forth. The often referred to (by me) passing lane is visible in the high speed split off the western north-south mainline to the left of the frame. Note the fall colors - not typical for our area, especially since fall/autumn seems to have occurred not only late, but rather mild. (First freezing weather not to hit for another week or two, and were still a foot behind on rainfall for the year, contrary to the puddles in this shot - but not they are puddles, not small creeks or solid sheets of water, more typical for our autumn.) |
