Title:  BNSF 4136 pusher duty passing BNSF 5517 pusher duty
Description:  BNSF 4136 pusher duty passing BNSF 5517 pusher duty both on tailends of northbound covered hopper groups... and for those nay-sayers that claim contrasting A/C paint is _not_ standard livery, look close at the picture, folks. I rest my case, this time in War Bonnet red.

BNSF 5528
Title:  BNSF 5528
Description:  BNSF 5528 showing the Norfolk Southern Railways suggested renaming scheme, contrary to my BnsF idea post-merger. (Itll be funny if my running commentary on the yet-to-be-announced BNSF acquisition of NS is presented after the dust settles from the insider trading suits as evidence that _everyone_ knew about it, so it wasnt really insider trading leading the announcement.)

BNSF 7309
Title:  BNSF 7309
Description:  BNSF 7309 up in the ladder of the north yard entrance along Fruit Valley road showing the nice new light pole... and shed... and guard rail. What do you mean railfan viewing was _not_ considered during planning? Darn lucky youre no longer publicly traded... would hate to have to pick up a share of BNSF stock just to put the idea on next years annual meeting. Thatll teach me for only holding UNP and CSX... but those two should be on notice for impending stock-holder submitted resolutions.

BNSF 7325
Title:  BNSF 7325
Description:  BNSF 7325 middle elephant hooked up to a southbound mixed freight in the ladder area - as of yet, unsure if thatll be the final resting place or there was just no place left to stick extra power in the usual power corral behind the service area.

BNSF 7378
Title:  BNSF 7378
Description:  BNSF 7378 moving out northbound ("Tailem up, moveem out" I guess when youre at the rear) with string of covered hoppers along the new, annoying optical illusion "not really level in the view-finder" guardrail (using the walkway along the power unit, youll note this image is really tilted off level to appear balanced... but its not raining, its not freezing, and RP hasnt shown up yet, so I figure its still a good day.

AMTK 164
Title:  AMTK 164
Description:  AMTK 164 in the back, doing all the work, without the glory of leading the southbound Cascades into the sunset. Good thing theres railfans to make sure the score is kept correctly - even for the tailenders doing all the work.

Title:  AMTK 204 - BNSF 7309 - BNSF 1779
Description:  AMTK 204... hey, do you happen to hear someth... oh, dang! Would seem theres not enough time to turn on the camera, lift, aim, and shoot an accelerating Amtrak whizzing out from behind the 39th Street over-pass to the ladder entrance zone by a nose... as she passes behind BNSF 1779 yard engine duo paused behind BNSF 7309 on a southbound triple power group in the ladder entrance - the Amtrak on the main line in front of the empty passing lane behind her.

BNSF 9898

Description:  BNSF 9898 SD70-MAC pushing bottom-first on a coal drag northward out of Vancouver as the sun set lights the area with golden glow... notice? I said "sun!" Again! The middle of October and temperatures still pushing 70° and above without rain. Oh boy, this has got to be some bad hoodoo well be facing when it comes time to pay the piper.

PNWR 2309
Title:  PNWR 2309
Description:  PNWR 2309 in third, and last, position preparing to pull out of Vancouver with her local string back to home ground to the south as the sun rapidly sinks in the west behind her. (Note the odd cropping and occasional razor-wire - nothing like balancing on a guardrail post and shooting off into the distance through anti-invasion measures).

What rumor?)

BNSF 4587
Title:  BNSF 4587
Description:  BNSF 4587 on point for... oh good Lord, what the heck happened? Someone took an ugly stick to this unit, for sure... uh, and selected to lead the way as proper representative of the BNSF empire (insert squished, painful look on face here) - although I do understand putting an orange A/C unit BACK on this one - she needs all the help she can get. Then again, it is sunset, and you know what they say about all the girls at closing time... Leading a southbound mixed freight into Vancouver and the highly visible station area. Good luck with that.

Description:  BNSF 5198 - BNSF 5493 as number two and three on a southbound double- ... what? What do you mean that doesnt count? If I can read the registry numbers, it does SO count, dang it! AND it has artistic fall colors complimenting the power livery in the background in diesel exhaust blur! So of COURSE it counts. Sheesh. Tough audience.

Description:  BNSF 7242 - BNSF 5198 in first and second on a triple-header double-stack aimed southbound in the passing lane in early November where we managed to dodge what shouldve been a deluge or rain - instead, barely cloudy with only a few spits of rain. The altered weather pattern actually creating some color in the trees as they lose their leaves (at least the ones that survived the summer drought and didnt go into early stress leaf loss).

BNSF 8017
Title:  BNSF 8017
Description:  BNSF 8017 showing up in third position on a triple-header coal drag... and, no, this image has no right to be posted, except I find it beyond hilarious showing all that can go wrong when caught in the wrong position and location when something happens in the distance and I couldnt help but laugh at the prop-wash (diesel exhaust / heat shimmer from BNSF 5473 (posted in the Service Area folder if you want to see the whole unit, not just the smoke stack) ) blurring everything up, as if the little pocket snapper didnt have enough problems at 500mm being held by a little fat guy balanced on a sewer pipe trying to get as high as possible to snap over the roofs of the power corral units in the service area. Enjoy the chuckle.

Title:  BNSF 9876
Description:  BNSF 9876 bottom-end first as the middle unit on a threesome with coal consist headed north on the mainline as seen from back behind the service area in a small peek through the various buildings... shown more to say "See? All those poles and buildings lean every-which-way! And I have to try to figure out true vertical?" Cant even blame wide-angle on this one, because the little camera is racked out to 500mm equivalent on the zoom.

BNSF 6021 - BNSF 5477 - BNSF 6526
Title:  BNSF 6021 - BNSF 5477 - BNSF 6526
Description:  BNSF 6021 - BNSF 5477 - BNSF 6526 three-way power group hustling south with mixed freight into Vancouver proper, presumed to go eastbound through the wye in another mile or so to curl away from the sinking sun and shift onto the river-lanes into the night.

BNSF 6021
Title:  BNSF 6021
Description:  BNSF 6021 barreling out from under the 39th Street over-pass leading a triple out of the sunset darkness in front of the maintenance area in the distance, capping off a day of close calls / near-misses - and a significant shutter lag stumbling out of the car which refused to unlatch the seatbelt or unlock the door as this one was caught in the briefest of moments before disappearing behind the trees.

BNSF 6526
Title:  BNSF 6526
Description:  BNSF 6526 showing up in third position on the front of a southbound mixed freight rushing into the sunset from below the over-pass as I manage to click the shutter one last time before falling off my perch atop the front wheel (What? You dont use that small space between the top of the front wheel and the wheel well to cram your feet into to get that extra couple feet of height to shoot over fences? Just because then you tend to fall various directions and not be able to remove your feet fast enough? Ha! Id laugh at you... just as soon as I get the gravel and road grit out of my hands and palms.)

CN 2200
Title:  CN 2200
Description:  CN 2200 paused in the passing lane in a rare night shot attempt by me and the little pocket-snapper camera, but I wasnt about the pass up a Canadian National triple header in our area with a little odd-mix of power at the front of a line of covered hoppers. And the temporary note in the grime near her nose reads, "Dirt is Cool" - for anyone interested.

IC 2714 / CN 2714
Title:  IC 2714 / CN 2714
Description:  CN 2714* as the third-of-three on northbound covered hopper... wait... "IC" in the grille-work below the registry number - seriously? Its actually an Illinois Central? I have my doubts, I presume its just a Canadian quirk of some kind. Thatll teach me to go out after dark. (*IC 2714 as per Jack Prange II note below... thanks for the correction!)

CN 5483
Title:  CN 5483
Description:  CN 5483 odd-one in the middle of a threesome on the front of a northbound covered hopper group leaving Vancouver in the night after a spectacular sunset (in November, mind you... not a rainset... or a storm front closing out the night... a SUNset... which means it couldve been any random color as long as it was sun, and it wouldve been spectacular around here).
