BNSF 5672 and FRA cars 217 and 223 approach the switch at OT Junction as they begin their journey south on the Oregon trunk while a UP manifest speeds west beneath them.
"New" BNSF GP60 168 showed up yesterday as local power in Bend, OR, on the Oregon Trunk Sub. It is ex-HLCX 7700, received it's red paint while on lease to the Vermont Railway, and was originally purchased by the Texas-Mexican Railway. Sister BNSF 169 (still in T-M green) was wrecked...
A southbound BNSF manifest crests Lava Butte Summit, 11 miles south of Bend, OR. A nice one-mile hike over the lave rock from the truck, mid-day, at 90 degrees!
A southbound baretable (spine cars) blasts through Sunriver, OR at track speed (50 mph in dark territory). Those aren't specks on my lens, they're big snowflakes making an unsuccessful attempt at extending our winter.

On Monday the BNSF sends an ES44C4 up the Oregon Trunk Sub., and on Wednesday an SD70ACe! A first for me for both models, 2 days apart.Thanks to Warren Root for the heads up.
I hear one or two came down the OT Sub. when they were first released, but this is the 1st one I've seen. Departed northbound out of Bend at 4:00pm. Not sure where (Pasco or Vancouver/Seattle) it was heading.It's pretty cold here - about 0 degrees - and that's fresh powder getting blown around...
An in-service-again BNSF SD75M leads a northbound baretable train on BNSF's OT Sub., as it crosses the lava beds south of Bend, OR.A little over-exposed, but I was in manual mode, and the black rocks and bright blue sky had me bewildered as to where to set my camera!
Durring a break in the traiffic after the 4449 went by, I heard on the scanner about the EVEBAR waiting to leave Wishram. I decided to head of to the North switch at Moody, on the Oregon Trunk, to photograph this train due to nothing coming on the Fallbridge Sub.
Sunday we were treated to a rare visitor on BNSF's Oregon Trunk Sub., a gorgeous red Soo Line SD60. The trailing unit on a northbound manifest, here she is "in the lead" as the power returns to the train after making a setout in the yard.
In the first winter after the BNSF merger in 1996, a southbound train of empty spine cars awaits a crew at Bend, OR, with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. The LMX B39-8E's are long gone, and Santa Fe units with original road numbers weren't around for much longer, either.Canon EOS-10s...
