Just me and another day on the job for BNSF. I was currently heading out East on the Clovis Sub. Destination San Diego, Ca. I'm in charge of a ES44DC, SD70MAC, and a SD60M with a Manifest load.

Getting Ready to head out. Just have to wait for a BNSF trailer train to head out towards El Paso, Tx. (It had a CN ES44DC in the lead)

Here we see a UP Stack train headed for Oakland California, for the containers to be loaded on ships and go all across the country



Looking West We Can See The Town Of Chester



Looking At The Manifest We Can See That The Train Has A Guest, A KCS ES44AC

Taking A Good Pic We Can See A Proud Looking ES44 Coming Into Town


Looking Down Jefferson Blvb, We Get A Glance At How Bussy The Railroad Is In This Town


Here we see ES44 #5439 Making Her Way Proudly Cross This Crossing


From The Amtrak Depot We Can See The Train Making It's Way Slowly


Looking West We Can See The Town Of Jefferson (To Be)

From The Highway We Take One Last Look At This Westbound Stack Train
 
Contined

Later That Night We Caught A Local Returning from the Town Of Lexington
A Small Farming Community About 3 Miles North Of Chester


One Hell Of A Lineup If You Ask Me, Two DRGW Patched GP40-2's, A UP GP38-2, And A Un-Patched SP GP40


Here We Get A Better View Of The Lineup


As We Come Out Of Chester The Speedlimit Is 60mph, So We See The Three Powering Up


Standing on the highway we can get a good close up view of the DRGW Geep


Standing Close To The Mainline We Can See The Four Locomotives Hauling A Local Freight
Headed East To The Next Town Over To Power Down And In The Morning Power Back Up To Do Some Switching To Get The Produce Around


Yet Again Standing On The Highway


This was the last shot we took at 11:05 as the train speeded it's way out of our range
