Santa Fe - all the way
Flying out of Wellsville, KS on M2 of the BNSF Emporia Subdivision is Train Q CHIALT with a duo of Bonnets.
My goal was to try and shoot a telephoto that hides any "BNSF" text on the second unit (BNSF 743). Im not going to get into stupid foamer politics and argue if the 743 is a "Fakebonnet” or "Warbonnet."
Instead of trying to chase this thing and fail, I figured it would be best to find one good and reliable spot and shoot a "one-and-done." I picked Utah Rd. as the split main eliminates any train interference. Smoke on the horizon was a bit of an issue, but it also helped eliminate any strong glare.
Two Bonnets on their namesake Transcon pulling stacks in 2022 is defiantly a sight I will remember.
