Burnt Out

A westbound BNSF intermodal train rounds the bend at the west end of Atherton on a cold and cloudy December evening. BNSF ES44C4 8107 takes the lead of this short intermodal train with its engineer side ditchlight burnt out. While I was starring down at the green light visible 1.6 miles away from the signal bridge at Eton Junction, the familiar sounds of a Nathan K5HL rang through the crisp air as it charged west into the small rural community of Atherton. The burnt out ditchlight made for a strange look as the train got closer to my vantage point.
