Love the shot, by the way. Love anything BN.

Lots of LMX's, tiger stripe GP50's, and headless GE's. Throw in a reasonably predictable schedule and it made for easy pickens photography wise.
I used to be able to see the tracks from my workplace in Ft. Collins at the time and once counted 18 days in a row that 92 ran with two LMX's for power. Would have been 1989 I think. Another common set was a GP50/B30-7A combo. Saw the train as small as 10 flats behind a single tiger stripe GP50 (with a caboose!) to a mammoth train in July of '88 that had three SD40-2s followed by a couple dozen autoracks ahead of the normal lengthy intermodal train. Even saw it once with a U30B on the point. I sure am glad we've got lots of video shot back in those days. In fact the main reason I can remember all this so vividly is because my son and I have been editing the video to make a BN 1987-1995 DVD for our enjoyment. Thanks for the memories Joe.
