BNSF 5188 • Fullerton CA • 01/28/07
Description:
A train of empty ethanol tank cars, BNSF X-WATABE7-26, snakes through the crossover as it moves from Track 2 to Track 1 at Fullerton Junction. Symboled as an empty unit grain train (because ethanol is a grain product), this train – pulled by a set of three Dash 9-44CWs – 5188, 4341 and 4080 – is heading from Watson, in the Port of Los Angeles, to Aberdeen, South Dakota. The San Bernardino Sub on which this train is traveling heads east to, eventually, Chicago, and the track on the left, Metrolink’s Orange Sub, is the old Santa Fe "Surf Line," which heads to San Diego.

NS 9794 - Lilly PA - 09/24/08
Description:
The cool Autumn air at 1,904 feet (580 m) in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains has already triggered a few trees to begin changing colors. An eastbound Norfolk Southern intermodal train passes under the old Pennsylvania Railroad position light signals as it climbs the grade. NS Dash 9-44CW 9794 and ES44DC 7606 are powering this double-stack train as it heads to Harrisburg. (Lilly, Pennsylvania – September 24, 2008)

BNSF 485059 • Skamania WA • 10/24/19
Description:
In 2012 the BNSF Railway repainted 27 grain hoppers with logos commemorating the various railroad which made up the BNSF. Each of these component railroads had their logos applied to three covered hoppers: Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Colorado & Southern, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Spokane Portland & Seattle and St. Louis- San Francisco (Frisco). One of the Burlington Northern Legacy cars, BNSF 485059, was spotted in a westbound grain train, BNSF G-CEGLVN9-22, making its way through the Columbia River Gorge as it traveled from Chester, Montana, to Longview, Washington, roughly 75 miles ahead.

This short train was then handed off to the BNSF Railway, and ES44C4 6570 was added, for the trip south to Stuart Mesa, a joint Metrolink/Coaster facility just north of Oceanside. Coaster is now operated by North County Transit District (NCTD), which recently modified its paint scheme to eliminate the white horizontal stripe and include more blue than on the older teal. white and blue scheme. BNSF train J-WCLSTZ1-05 (High/Wide Move, West Colton to Stuart Mesa) is about to get off Metrolink’s Olive Sub at CP Maple and travel on Metrolink’s Orange Sub all the way to Stuart Mesa. The two Coaster engines were being shipped under the SIIX reporting mark. (Orange, California – August 5, 2020)

BNSF 4705 - Yorba Linda CA - 12/14/20
Description:
BNSF train S-LPCLHG1-08 arrived at Esperanza (milepost 35.6 on the San Bernardino Sub) at 5:56 pm (17:56) the previous evening, having originated in Chicago’s Logistics Park. And it was still there at 4:00 pm (16:00) the next day, not long after this photo was taken. And I would not be surprised to find it there for the next week, as these trains often sit in Santa Ana Canyon for several days to a week, awaiting an opening at Hobart Yard or in the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach. If it hadn’t tied down, though, I would have missed the opportunity to photograph this 23-year-old engine still proudly wearing its original Superfleet paint scheme, which has held up surprisingly well. Eventually, this train will head west again and arrive at Los Angeles Harbor’s Global Gateway South to unload its containers for a return trip to China to get reloaded and head back to the US.

BNSF 693 - San Bernardino CA - 12/18/20
Description:
BNSF Railway Dash 9-44CW 693 was built by General Electric as Santa Fe 693 in September 1994, one year before the Santa Fe and Burlington Northern would merge to create the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (later shortened to just BNSF Railway). At the time, the Santa Fe’s new power was being delivered in the attractive red and silver "Superfleet" paint scheme, a throwback to the railway’s earlier, classic "Warbonnet" passenger scheme. The Nineties were a great time to railfan the Santa Fe as a result! While still wearing its original paint, poor BNSF 693 is clearly showing its twenty-six years of service, with the bright red faded to pink, the silver appearing more grayish and rust-colored primer on much of the engine. Still, as weather-beaten as BNSF 693 is, it is a welcome sight among the near endless parade of orange and black diesels found all over the BNSF system.

Spliced between ES44DC 7824 and ET44C4 3923 is former Santa Fe Dash 9-44CW 693, still wearing its original 26-year-old "Superfleet" red and silver paint job! ATSF 693 was delivered one year before the Santa Fe merged with the Burlington Northern in September 1995, and while the colors look fairly worn, they are still a welcome sight among the predominantly orange and black BNSF diesels.

Description:
Departing Union Pacific’s West Colton Yard for Portland, Oregon, is train MWCPT-17. This train is almost all on the railroad’s Mojave Sub (the former Southern Pacific Palmdale Cutoff, built over Cajon Pass in 1967) at this point, with only the last few cars and the rear DPU, ES44AC 8088, yet to cross over from the Alhambra Sub. Slover Mountain, alongside the mainline, has been reduced to, basically, a low rise, allowing a view of Redlands that had been blocked for as long as humans have lived in the area, (Colton, California – December 18, 2020)

BNSF 3970 - San Bernardino CA - 12/23/2020
Description:
On a day in which the cold Santa Ana Winds were blowing extra hard, making it difficult to even stand without some effort, a quartet of diesels is putting together a train of empty grain hoppers at the Ardent Mills elevator at Verdemont. BNSF ET44C4 3970, Norfolk Southern ES44AC 8114 (the Heritage unit painted in the colors of the original NS, a North Carolina regional railroad), NS AC4400C6M 4200 (rebuilt from NS Dash 9-44CW 8947) and BNSF ES44C4 3268 will depart later as BNSF train X-SBDBAR3-22A (Empty Unit Grain; San Bernardino to Barstow). Unlike other railroads, BNSF trains with a symbol beginning with an "X" are not Extras, but Empty Grain Trains. (San Bernardino, California – December 23, 2020)

BNSF 6893 - Barstow CA - 12/23/20
Description:
BNSF Railway Intermodal Stack Train S-LPKSCO1-20T, which originated in Kansas City KS and is headed to Long Beach CA, had its crew "die on the law" at Nebo, just four miles from the crew change point in Barstow, at 3:10 am on December 23, 2020. Between furloughed crews and crews taking time off for the holidays, this train sat in Nebo for hours. Reportedly the new crew would not arrive for 26 hours! BNSF ES44C4 6893 is working with EMD SD70ACe-T4 7219 and BNSF ES44DC 7304 to get this train over the road … all it needs is a crew! (Barstow, California – December 23, 2020)

BNSF 7041 - Daggett CA - 12/23/20
Description:
Twenty-one-thousand six-hundred horsepower, freed from the confines of the Barstow fuel racks, are at work getting BNSF Railway Guaranteed Service Intermodal train Q-LACLPC6-23 up to speed – in this case, 70 mph (112km/h) – as the train heads east on the railway’s Needles Sub. Five different models are powering this train – BNSF ES44CW 7041, SD70ACe 9032, Dash 9-44CW 971, ES44AC 5773 and AC4400CW 5715 – although most of them look so much alike it is hard to tell. That’s just 21st Century railroading! (Daggett, California – December 23, 2020)

At that point, the train was running 1 hour 11 minutes ahead of schedule! And there it sat until late on December 25th, after BNSF ES44C4 7113 was added to the consist (now BNSF 7113, BNSF 6893, EMDX 7219, BNSF 7304//BNSF 9289, BNSF 3959, BNSF 9023). But the new crew "died" at Santa Fe Springs, not too far from its final destination, at 2:15 am on December 26, at which point the train was now only 65 hours 21 minutes late! At the time of this photo, the poor train was over 71 hours late, with no sign of a fresh crew. (Santa Fe Springs, California – December 26, 2020)

CN 5366 - Gary IN - 09/24/21
Description:
In 1973, when General Motors Electro-Motive Division was inundated with orders for SD40-2s for just about every railroad, twenty SD40-2s were built for Missouri Pacific. Lucky number 13 was MP 807, which the railroad later renumbered 3107. When the UP acquired the MoPac in 1982, MP 3107 became UP 4107. As the UP continued to acquire new locomotive (as well as merge with even more railroads), UP 4107 became surplus and was one of 19 oof this order of SD40-2s sold to Canadian National, which renumbered it CN 6107. Following a rebuild in the mid-1990s, CN 6107 was renumbered CN 5366. By this point, there are nine of the engines from this particular MP order still in service on the CN. Note the shiny new air conditioner on the side of the nose of 5366 as it sits in the railway’s Kirk Yard. (Gary, Indiana – September 24, 2021) Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE and Covid precautions.
