Western Railroad Discussion > Fall color at Gladstone

One thing I have to admit about the BNSF merger paint scheme: It does go well with fall colors. Even (dare I say it) a swoosh would look good here, but I’ll sure take this trio of H2s any time posed against Mother Nature’s fall palette…

1. BNSF 4489 is westbound over the Cottonwood River at Gladstone, KS on October 21, 2012.

Thanks for looking!

Been on many trains over this bridge but I sure wouldn't know how to get to where you got to take this picture.
Very nice picture.

You are cordially invited.... (when the weather warms up a tad! :*)

When you said "Gladstone" I thought you meant New Jersey Transit!

I've been to both places, NJ and KS. Locally, I've also heard both being called Happy Rock.

Nice photo LFG. I never got over to that side of the tracks for this angle. Isn't the KCM&O bridge abutment nearby?
