Western Railroad Discussion > Last of the BMLP

It looks like I'm the last of the TO members I met trackside last weekend trackside on the BMLP to post their photos. I won't bore you with images of the train on big sweeping curves and other scenery since fellow TO members have already posted those. Here are a few from last weekends final run.

1. The engineer contemplating on his last run. His sister and other family members had just stopped by for photos and to wish him off.
2.  A horse skull looks on as the engineer waves to locals at a grade crossing that came out to see the train passing. 
3. A westbound into the sunset.

1. The Engineer
2. The EB empty passes a natural lake formed by run offf from White Mesa. This is a good large mouth bass fishing spot for locals.
3. A local rode his bike out to the crossing to check out the scene.

You succeeded in making your photos a compliment to the ones submitted recently of the trains through the desert. The human touch was great.

Just curious if that's a bald eagle standing on the water bank in the fifth picture?

Love the little local modifications that have been made to these locomotives to deal with local conditions inside the loader.
A "roof" over the cab air conditioner and the bracket on the plows that mounts the rubber sheets that push things like coal off the rails.

Thanks everyone, Espeefan that is actually a local fishing bent over adjusting his line. I was hoping to catch he and his friend fishing but they moved around the corner by the time the train arrived.

Cool shots from a different viewThanks for posting..Bill Webb

Good pictures. Wish I  could have made the trip with you and Larry.

Sweet!!

Thank you for this exceptionally excellent photo set.  Many great photos of the BMLP shown
on TO over the past months, and I believe this is my favorite set of all.

Another option for that area would be a California Condor.

There's more chance of it being a tyrannosaurus rex than a california condor..
