I like the signal/framing composition in the Rogers shots. But that sign looks like someone needs to run out and "get some Elmer's Glue before it's too late"...

;^)

Neat views, I like that BNSF-CSXT-BNSF-CSXT-BNSF consist!

UP 7770: ZYCBZ-26 (Premium Intermodal-Yard Center, IL-????) Interchanged to the KCSM at Laredo. Not sure what city in Mexico the BZ stands for.
UP 9735: MPBEG-27 (Manifest-Pine Bluff-Eagle Pass)
UP 4626: KMNLD-27 (Priority Intermodal-Marion, AR-Laredo)
