Nice shooting, Steve. I really like the colors and contrast in shot #7 of the BNSF manifest. CChan006 (Charles) and I were on the Hill on Friday as well and caught all of the trains you shot except for the BNSF manifest, which we missed around Midas.

UP 7011 was the KOASC (or KOAOG, it changes a lot). UP 4392 west was the IG3OA. The ZNPOA ran earlier in the day (passed Shed 10 around 2pm) with UP 5051 in the lead.
