A scene that repeats multiple times during the day... a solid set of stacks rolls east in the morning sun past a typical Texas Panhandle town which consists of a grain elevator in the background and a few houses.
Foreign visitors on a BNSF vehicle train cast really long shadows on the cows grazing in the last light of the day. To add to the fun, the lead NS C40-9W was dead and the trailing ICE SD40-2 had to do all the work, as a result of which the train was not making good speed at all.
