Image 1:
I rendezvoused with the 4014 in Sharon Springs, KS the evening of 11/22 and was fortunate to catch the 4014 with
its headlight and marker lights on and the cool weather helped produce some interesting steam plums and patterns ...

The main grain silo complex was a great back drop for the 4014 as it departed Sharon Springs

We drove along there in October, lots of open areas.  I wondered if anyone would catch it on the Turkey Creek trestle out there.  That was the one the coal train set ablaze years ago.

And I like your night work at Sharon! Due to personal business in Aurora this is the one leg I completely missed between Kansas City & Cheyenne. So it's nice to see these shots...
