Containers at Calwa
On the morning of March 24th, I swung by the BNSF Calwa Yard once more and was greeted by a northbound stack train throttling up and out of the yard just as I arrived. Traffic was starting to back up at Church Ave, but luckily not bad enough to make a hard left on East Ave and catch up to the headend at Sunmaid Crossing. I quickly hopped out of the car and grabbed some shots of the power rolling under the signal bridge just south of the diamond with one of the area's water towers looming in the background to the left. If one zooms in to the right and looks down the tracks, the nose of one of the yard jobs can be seen which continued to block Church Ave as the train switched cars around the main yard. I tried to catch up with my main target once more, but alas the train was too fast and the streets of Fresno were a bit busy once entering the downtown district.
