Some more ATSF 2926 Pete Lerro Charters
Author: frntinplate

Most of the daytime photo runbys were around the Broadway siding, about 10 miles south of Albuquerque Amtrak station.   We had to duck in and out of the main to allow passage of many RailRunner, Amtrak (on occasion) and BNSF moves. 

As you can see, most runbys were well smoked.  Various options were request, including "stack up" and "stack down" to add a bit of variety

1. Moving to the south (RR West) end of Broadway siding we were able to climb a bit up the I25 overpass abutment to get some shots.
2. Moving back north end to wait for the WB SW Chief, running about an hour late. 
3. Now moved to the Isleta Siding for another smoke and whistle runpast.  The group had to travel by charter bus to all locations on the Isleta Pueblo Reservation due to restrictions imposed by the Indian leadership.

1. Moving a bit north (RR East) of Broadway siding offered a view of a short tresstle.
2.3.  A late rainstorm created some standing water near the Broadway Siding.

1. The sun goes down at Broadway Siding
2. Moving back to the former Santa Fe shop area just south of Albuquerque station, we begin the night shots/
3.  What is a Pete Lerro photo shoot without his great lighting crew.  We were able to stage a number of views over several nights.

Last batch of night photos.  As usual, Lerro Productions produced a great set of photo ops.

Well thanks for this!  I cannot wait to see her burnishing the rails with an excursion or two.  You really got some nice views of the loco in action.

Good to see Roland Fogarty (is this the correct spelling-?) in the night photos with ATSF 2926.  Thanks for sharing your great images especially the night photos with water reflections.

Great set of photos. I did the first set of charters, and the storm lighting was great. Chris uk.
