Antelope meet

In Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, a southbound Burlington Northern coal train recedes in the distance moments after meeting a Chicago & North Western train at Antelope siding on July 4, 1989. Three C&NW EMD SD60s and a Union Pacific EMD SD60M power the northbound train. Most of the Orin line was still single track at this point, with plenty of meets going on between trains. When they were new or freshly repainted, C&NW locomotives dressed in Zito yellow didn’t look too bad.
