UP 1989 Rio Grande Heritage Unit at Black Butte Siding
Author: TCnR

Was able to catch the Rio Grande Heritage unit at Black Butte siding today. A Thunderstorm was in the area and moving in my direction, to make matters worse they decided to have a meet at Black Butte, so I went up to the north switch to try my luck.

#1 Rio Grande Heritage locomotive on the main at the north end of Black Butte siding.

#2 Just before the meet, the southbound lumber train lumbering down the siding at Black Butte with some precipitation.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shots! It's good to see the 1989 in mountains even if they aren't Colorado mountains!

Good to see you're out railfanning neighbor. Or were you just going to Pilot for some gas? Nice inclement weather photo.
See you next weekend.

Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for sending the 1989 and the rain storm at the same time!

Lousy gas, best donuts in town...well the only donuts in town.

...but don't tell that Bob guy. We all know what happens when he corners the box of donuts...
