Excellent catch.

Train #4 met #3 at Gise, slow meet. We lost at least an hour on #4 from Hebron to Raton, signal troubles, so the train was down to 10-15 mph.
Track speed on the hill, 25 passenger 20 freight. We saw the test set tied down in Trinidad, local sheriff parked next to the consist.

Right place at the right time! Awesome shots, Mr X. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone now if this is a 2nd set of LNG test train set for the BNSF?

'Tis, though this is the GE set that had been up in Erie, PA for some time. The 600 up front though is a separate deal. There have been several threads on the unit here if you use the search bar. It was a Santa Fe Dash-9 that was recently upgraded with AC and A-1-A trucks like the C4's.

Nice shots!
