Great picture, thanks.

But I'm wondering why UP is leasing BNSF locomotives when it (UP) has many locomotives in storage?

Way things were looking Thursday morning I was thinking there was an all day maintenance of way window shaping up. I stumbled onto this move.

Enjoy the B-17 Madras Maiden flying around Colorado Springs this weekend - May 27 & 28th.
