BNSF 8824 west
Title:  BNSF 8824 west
Description:  Westbound empty Lawrence/Tecumseh coal train. I was blessed to catch it in daylight under perfect lighting with camera in hand. I've been trying for yrs to catch this train with SD70MAC's in my viewfinder with good lighting. This train mainly runs in the dark most the year. Loads from KC to Lawrence and Tecumseh now. The empties come to emporia but the locos are ran around to the back and pull the train back to KCK instead of Pueblo CO.

UP 6512 DPU
Title:  UP 6512 DPU
Description:  Westbound loaded Redrock coal train broke down at Lang KS 5miles northeast of Emporia on the Topeka sub. We beat the BNSF responder and AAA Limo yard taxi there and gave the conductor a ride to the DPUs and back to the busted knuckle with another knuckle. We got to see the inside of the locos. I got to go up a real SP unit for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In this day in age you'd think it was a hallucination.

Somewhere beyond the pretty flowers is a train.
Title:  Somewhere beyond the pretty flowers is a train.
Description:  its a real chore to photograph sunflowers and trains and have them come out right. this is my best work yet. flowers do best when they're at track level or higher but most places the tracks are higher putting the flowers away from the trains and the viewfinder. Plus in Lyon Co its harder as there is a sunflower shortage because of spraying, mowing, planting, etc. but this is chase co here in this photo.
