This pair has been on the Havelock job and running back and forth on the "Zephyr" for the past week or two. Knowing that, Sam and I had hoped they would run this morning before our afternoon plans.
Instead of running on the zephyr, though, they were sitting in Havelock when we were up. After a little while, they ended up heading west lite. Instead of heading into Hobson, they ran up the UP branch to the airport to grab a string of cars out of storage to take back to Havelock.
Sam beat me up there and was able to shoot them pulling out of the siding off the overpass to the airport. We booked it south, hitting every red light imaginable, but still managed to get back in front to catch them here as they cross under the road and prepare to cross the bridge and get back on the BN.
Those damn power lines, though. I wonder if a guy could get lower a bit under the overpass and still have an elevated shot of them around the curve? Might be worth looking into.
BNSF GP30 2745 and GP50 3132 lead cars out of storage to Havelock off the Union Pacific Lincoln Subdivision in Lincoln, Nebraska, October 14, 2023.
