Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Transcon Action - Rio Puerco, NMDate: 03/29/13 14:53 BNSF Transcon Action - Rio Puerco, NM Author: es44fan On a recent trip to New Mexico, I went down to the BNSF Gallup Subdivision to get some shots at Rio Puerco. Seventeen trains between 8am and 3pm!!!! Enjoy!!
1: Sunlight reflects off the eastbound signals with a green set on main 1. 2: BNSF 5372 leads a westbound intermodal. 3: BNSF 7268 leads an eastbound intermodal into the bright sunlight.    Date: 03/29/13 14:55 Re: BNSF Transcon Action - Rio Puerco, NM Author: es44fan 4: A maintenance truck rolls down main 2 at Rio Puerco.
5: Amtrak 4 running an hour late flies by Rio Puerco. While it was an hour late here, it was thirty minutes early into Albuquerque. 6: BNSF 5082 leads a westbound freight with BNSF 4707 in Warbonnet colors and BNSF 2194 in Santa Fe colors.    Date: 03/29/13 14:56 Re: BNSF Transcon Action - Rio Puerco, NM Author: es44fan 7: BNSF 7885 leads a fast eastbound intermodal through Rio Puerco.
8: While there were no trains, I caught this HC-130 refueling a helicopter in midair!! 9: While BNSF 7059 waits for a green on main 1, BNSF 6517 leads a Z train past it on main 2.

Training as part of the 58th Special Operations Wing at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque to provide personnel rescues and other useful services. See http://www.aetc.af.mil/units/58sow/index.asp Bill -30- Date: 03/31/13 10:00 Re: BNSF Transcon Action - Rio Puerco, NM Author: es44fan Thanks for the link. I was wondering why the helicopters kept flying over me multiple times throughout the day.
