Western Railroad Discussion > A couple of CREX units leading on a rainy day in Kansas

Thanks to a tipster, I was able to catch a couple of leased CREX engine units leading an eastbound BNSF Railway manifest train through Gardner, Kan., on the Emporia Sub. at 12:34 p.m. today, Saturday, March 25, 2017.

The CREX units were Nos. 1505 and 1514, trailed by BNSF #1515. Kind of a nice grouping of 1500 series numbers.

My second picture of the EB manifest meeting a WB BNSF stack train.  It's too bad the meet wasn't a few hundred feet closer to my position. And the sun was shining bright with clear skies.  Guess you can't have everything.
