Eastbound at Folsom |
| Description: |
In December 2023, I went to visit a good friend in Belen, NM. I didnt get to see much the first day out, but the second day of the trip was quite productive. I stayed at the Amarillo KOA, which is within sight of the Transcon. I saw a westbound holding, and went out to shoot the standing train. As I pulled up to the crossing, an eastbound was approaching, a pair of GEs with 46 stack platforms and 33 TOFC in tow. |

| Description: |
The eastbound is bearing down on me, and I shot a tele of it as it neared the crossing, two units and a lot of Amazon smiles coming at me. |

Blowing past |
| Description: |
The eastbound gets up to track speed-70 MPH-as it meets the westbound. There must have been another eastbound in the picture, as the westbound stayed put. I was on a road with no shoulder, so could not stay there, and had to get a move on anyway. But it was a good start to the day. |

Redemption |
| Description: |
I ran I 40 west to Santa Rosa, then US 54 to Vaughn, then west on US 60 to reach Belen. I shot five trains on UPs ex Rock Island/SP line, and missed one, then started in earnest on the BNSF. My first encounter was an eastbound near here, just east of Encino. I saw the train coming out from under the US 60 overpass at the bottom of the hill, fogetting that BNSF runs their trains like theyre being chased by a fire breathing dragon, and missed the shot by the time I got turned around to get to the spot I wanted. Five minuted later, this eastbound showed up, and I was able to get this shot across the steppes, with Pedernal Mountain in the distance. |

Wide open |
| Description: |
The same eastbound at Encino, this time in a wider angle view of its three units, 96 freight, and three stack platforms. The train is almost dwarfed by the landscape, showing why a long lens is an important tool in the west. |

Westbound canned |
| Description: |
I saw several westbound trains that seemed to be stashed in sidings along the way, though the eastbounds came at me on a regular basis, unfortunately, right out of the sun most of the time. This grain train is waiting at Lucy. |

Out of the sun |
| Description: |
There is a small pull off with a historical marker along US 60 at Silio, where I stopped for a brief break. While there, an eastbound appeared out of the sinking sun with three units and 180 or so cars silhouetted against the landscape, which was now starting to show the mountainous terrain after miles of open plains. I'd spend til Monday morning with friends in Belen, then start my return. Photos from the two days in Belen are in the Two Mornings at Belen album. |

Last light |
| Description: |
I went on through Mountainair, not seeing anything, and toward Scholle, at the top of Abo Canyon. This westbound was stopped at Kayser, along a cliff. There was a conveniently placed pull off, and I was able to get a decent shot. Id see two more once in the Rio Grande valley, but too dark by then to get a shot. This was a nice close to an interesting day. |
