BNSF 9294 East Approaching Carlton
I was reminded this weekend while looking for a family photo, that I have now been shooting with a digital for 10 years. That's kind of hard to believe when I think that after 5 more years of shooting digital I will have equalled all my time shooting slides. Did come across a few shots I forgot about from a decade ago.
Here BNSF 9294 East is about done with its morning trip on BNSF's Brainerd Sub. as it approaches Carlton, MN on March 24, 2007. A decade ago BNSF coal traffic into Superior was reaching its highest point ever and they still used mostly DC power at this point. Always liked the green 9200s and was happy to catch many on the Brainerd Sub. The BN/BNSF SD60Ms always looked at home pulling coal and ore through the northwoods.
Consist on this morning was BNSF 9294, EMD 9050, and BNSF 9296 pulling 123 new DETX cars. The patch job on these Green Giants was quite tasteful, even later when they became 8100s.
