    BNSF 6004 west at Providence Hill

    BNSF 6004 leads a west bound coal train up Providence Hill, near Lind, WA. There were also 2 other units on the rear acting as pushers. This was the first time that I was able to get pictures of a loaded coal train climbing the hill. I have seen the empty gondolas heading back east before at...

    Haulin' the coal

    Well actually, I belive these to be empties. There was a block of grain cars on the point aswell. A CN coal train, probably 773 or 785, rolls past Riverview. Unit coal is not a common sight for me, so this movement was appereciated.

    Catenary Wires

    A Black Mesa & Lake Powell train rolls west with a coal train in the late afternoon with several E60's and E60C's on the front. This isolated 78 mile railroad is situated in northern Arizona for the purpose of hauling coal from a mine to a power plant.

    GP38-2's and the YEOMAN BROOK

    A GP38-2 sure is small compared to a coal ship! The SCR/ex-DEVCO Geeps are helping load coal, which will be used to generate electricity in Nova Scotia. The Canadian flag in the foreground isn't part of the loop structure, it's actually a private house. I took this and other photos of the...

    CBNS 305

    I often saw CBNS 306 when I lived in Nova Scotia. 305 on the other hand ran later in the day, ussually when I ate dinner, so I didn't see him as much. This is one of the few days when I got lucky though. Note the loaded coal cars. The units were smoking hard, I had to move out of the way to...
