BNSF 7875 Palmer Lake 12 Mar 10
BNSF 7875 leads the Pikes Peak Local north through the Greenland Open Space just north of Palmer Lake, CO.
I can't remember why I had this particular Friday off, but it turned out to be a memorable one which became known as "Standard Cab Friday". After I took this shot, I drove out east to Limon, CO and caught both a UP local with a standard cab SD60 up front and a Kyle Railroad manifest with an ex-SP SD45T-2 leading.
In fact, I was on a standard cab steak in early 2010. From mid-February through mid-March, I shot nothing but trains with standard cabs. It wasn't that I was purposely avoiding the widenose-led trains, it was just pure luck that everything I caught had an older EMD on the point!
