West is Best

On a gorgeous April evening, my drone was perched high above Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho as a BNSF oil train cruises westbound in the beautiful light. The hilarity of going all the way to Idaho and getting an NS unit on a train wasn't lost on me, but at least it was an EMD so all was forgiven. This bridge is one of the last pinch-points on the northern trans-con, and work was just beginning on the pilings for the second track through here, which will negate the need for the dispatcher to coordinate meets. While we had a whole trip in front of us, I could've easily sat here and watched trains for another few days. Spectacular country.
