Seeing all those BNSF units it is amusing to notice the variations in how the Orange fades or holds up.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like nice winter weather and makes for some great shots.  Sure like the 1000 class H1s

Ahhhhh!  Winter on the Palouse!  Reminds me of the four winters I spent about a hundred miles from there at Moscow (Idaho).
