BNSF651-Heman
I am reuploading this picture because the more I kept looking at my original edit, the more dissatisfied I was with it. So, I had another go at the image in processing and I am now satisfied. Anyway, here's the information I had already wrote for the image awhile back:
The previous day, I was in Waynoka (just a few miles railroad east of here) and caught a glimpse of the local from Amarillo arriving into town with these two Warbonnets. I was unable to get any decent shots, but I got my hopes up that I would maybe catch the same power on the departing local the next day.
My wish was granted. Two Dash 9 Warbonnets are back to back on the L-KAN0361 as they make their journey up Curtis Hill. The 361 local departs from Waynoka in the morning hours every Saturday. They travel back to Amarillo and usually take a cut of cars with them. Here's the local rounding at Helva.
"Helva" is the hill I am standing on. It is between Belva and Heman, OK. Most people know it as Curve 41 from the Santa Fe days. Curve 41 is the largest curve on the transcon, as it whips through 3 different Oklahoma counties.
