At Yankee Hill, he was flying, but an unplanned meet at Berks helped us beat him there with minutes to spare.
We got back in front of the local and headed to De Witt. Sam and I stopped to shoot him going past the old elevator pictured here on the north side of town. Ryan and Jamie, who had shown up to chase along with us before the train left Crete, went in to town to shoot it going past the other elevator to the south. Unbeknownst to them, that elevator had been demolished in 2021, and they made barely made it back here in time to get a shot off.

Thanks to some rally car-like driving on some gravel roads, we beat them to Seward by a couple minutes and found a nice shot across a very green field.
Once we finished up at that crossing, threw the drones back in the car and got through Seward, we were parallel to the tracks for the rest of the chase. This sounds like it would be easy, but like I said before, we was doing track speed and HWY 34 is a bit more populated than the backroads we were on previously, so our speeds were limited to the other traffic.
Although everyone decided it was a great day to do 5 MPH under the speed limit, we were still able to get in front of him enough by the west side of Utica to pull up to a crossing and set up a shot.
You can see all three crew members here, including the brakeman in the conductor's seat of 1958 and the actual conductor giving us a wave from 2745. We'd like to think that they throttled up to give us a smoke show at this crossing as well.
We would get him a couple more times, but with the sun fading fast and dipping behind clouds, the peak of the chase was over.
BNSF GP39E 2745 and SD40-2 1958 lead the Aurora local westbound on the Ravenna Subdivision outside Utica, Nebraska, June 14, 2023.
The single tank the train came down with has been dropped at Eco-Energy and outbounds have been picked up. The 428 local is moving south towards the old depot in Beatrice.
With many repaints taking place in 2020, it leaves BNSF 2745 as the last BN Whiteface painted GP39E on the roster. Only time will tell how much longer it will last in BN colors. Here it was leading the Bayard Local back south at Aspinwall, IA.
While some of the hardcore foamers might've been wishing for a more lengthy train, this was just about perfect for branchline railroading in my book.
In het weekend van 20 en 21 juni 2020 waren er werkzaamheden tussen Deventer en Rijssen. Dit zorgde ervoor dat Sprinter 7000 Almelo - Apeldoorn slechts tussen Deventer en Apeldoorn reed. Beide omlopen reden met ongebruikelijk materieel, namelijk een SNG en een SLT.
Hoewel ik op diverse plekken veel moeite heb gedaan om de treinen op de foto te krijgen, had ik voortdurend pech met fotowolken. Uiteindelijk heb ik slechts één foto waar ik écht tevreden mee ben, en dat is deze, van de zaterdagochtend.
Hier komt SNG 2745 station Deventer binnen, om even later te gaan rangeren richting Deventer Goederenemplacement!

By the time I rolled away from Yankee Hill, the last car of this lengthy LINHAS was clearing the crossing. I thought it might be close getting ahead of him by Wittstruck Rd., but I managed to beat him there with about 10 minutes to spare. He was crawling.
We got back in front of the crew to get them coming out of Wilbur with the elevator in the background. They stopped the train at the crossing we were at and the Mike hopped out of the cab again to give us back some of the donuts to give to the brakeman who was following the train in a SUV. Shortly after, he pulled up and got his coffee and donuts from us before the crew highballed.

In before the crew, 2745 and 124 idle at the South Yard.
The BNSF Beatrice Sub is a perfect depiction of branchline railroading. Before leaving, Mike, the conductor filled us in on their plan for the day.
The first car was bound for Smithfield Foods South of Crete. The tanker was for Eco-Energy in Beatrice and the hoppers are for the Farmers Co-Op in Beatrice.
We took it easy on the icy streets of De Witt, but with the local only going 10 MPH or so, it wasn't hard to get back in front of him with plenty of time to spare. We shot him again as he was leaving town going under the UP Hallam Sub.
