Interesting shots, to be sure. My wife & I were on vacation in the last half of September 2013. Stayed overnight in a motel just outside the BNSF yards. Very enjoyable for a railfan.
We must have been down there about the same time. I caught the nice Green and Black BN locomotives and I saw the CN sitting on the river bridge. It took over two hours to get across CB. I saw it sitting on the Bridge at Noon and at 2pm I finally saw it rolling in to the CN Yard.
Good looking photos! Have you had the chance to go to Omaha and see #6900? My wife & I saw it while traveling across on Interstate 80. She couldn't understand what I was so excited about at first. I am wondering if there is a way to get close to the locomotive.
Yes, its open to the public 360+ Days a year from 9am to 5pm. Its in Kennefick Park at the Omaha Botanical Gardens. You can walk right up to it and all the way around it. Same with the Big Boy that's next to it.
My fault....we were in Lincoln Nebraska. But got quite an eyeful of BNSF & Uncle Pete trains while there. Back before the Earth's crust cooled (1975) I was visiting a steady girlfriend at that time. She lived in Princeton, Illinois. The Old Q went from Chicago to The Quad Cities, through Princeton. I took a few Kodachrome slides of BN trains 'on the fly'. I was in heaven!
