Rolling along in rural Southeast Idaho. On the Pocatello Subdivision.

After stopping to do some service at Cashe Junction. The Big Boy is getting everything in motion again on the big sweeping curve.

Chasing a BNSF coal train along the old Western Pacific main. Only about a month ago there was water along here. Now just salty mud. It fun on chase like this, as the crew starts recognizing you, ... (more)

Another day another GP38N assigned to the Salt Lake area I have never caught leading. On Friday I was happy to catch the UP 665 with the 693 at the Chevron refinery.

For my last shot of the chase. I was able to catch the Big Boy on the eastern out skirts of Elko. In the nice evening light.
