Thanks "railstiesballast" for your nice comment. Thanks Brian for your fun observations. There is a second part of the parking lot on the other side of the store. They stay fairly busy every day. Much appreciated to you both!

Nice update, Larry!  Good to see what goes on up your way.

Like your BNSF rolling series; it's too well maintained for rocking.
SP&S heritage hopper was a very nice catch; the scene is a real liker.
The skies in all your photos make my mouth water; summer skies back east often are muggy.
Geometry train with an EMD was a super awesome catch.
Five EMD's in total offered some nice variety.
Always good to see coal and oil on a roll; coal has been my favorite since I was a kid.
Thanks for continuing your contemporary BNSF action photo postin.
Your work and time are always most appreciated.

Good series, especially like the geometry train and the warbonnet of course. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks "texchief1" for your nice comment. Thanks Allen for your fun comments, observations and liking EMD's. always a good read. Thanks Mac for your Nice comments. Thanks "oyw" for your also nice comment. Much appreciated to you all!!

Agree that the geometry train with an EMD on the point is a great catch.  Liked the other stuff too, expecially the SP&S "Heritage" hopper.  We don't see those too much at this end of the system either.
