Title:  The Whole Train While Dropping Rail
Description:  HZGX 541907 is at the end guiding the rail. This massive rail train probably has the largest amount of rail for a rail train that I have ever seen. Just as I shot this picture more BNSF maintenance crews showed up to dig the crossing up so the rail could be burried.
