BNSF 9822 Palmer Lake 17 Feb 15
BNSF 9822 descends off the Palmer Divide closely following another southbound coal train on the single-track portion of the Joint Line.
The Exec MACs are still earning their keep powering Joint Line coal, and while they may be getting long in the tooth and overstaying their welcome as far as railfans are concerned, I prefer to catch one in the lead rather than a GEVO or a faded/pinkish H2 MAC!
