BN CP transfer on the hill
Title:  BN CP transfer on the hill
Description:  I have been wanting to catch this train for a while on the "hill", and today I got it! Picture was taken from video. The sound of three 645s in run 8 was a welcomed sound.

Out of the Morning Haze
Title:  Out of the Morning Haze
Description:  Off on the distant morning haze I saw headlights, and figured I'd wait to see what was coming. Much to my suprise it was the BN-CP with three SD40-2s! Not only did it sound great, but it was a very welcomed sight among a sea of GE power. Lets hope this lashup stays together a bit longer. My only regret about this is that I didn't take video of it.

Repaired, but ready to go?
Title:  Repaired, but ready to go?
Description:  After getting side swipped, the 8029 appears to be fixed, but is still missing the number on the cab. Even with these repairs, its future is still uncertain on the BNSF.
