After waiting for a westbound covered hopper train to clear (getting into the clear in the yard at Gallup), this eastbound intermodal train now has a clear signal and is on the move on Main 1.

Gallup, New Mexico, on Route 66. (Actually NM Rte 118; there is no longer a US Route 66. It just sounds better. Nobody says "I got my kicks on New Mexico 118".)
This place was apparently in operation until about 2013, when a fire caused it to shut down. Wouldn't be surprised if several state agencies weren't far behind, either.
Nest of the Bald-faced Hornet, which is really a kind of aerial yellowjacket and not closely related to the "true" European Hornet. These nests are within a few dozen yards of the nest fragment I photographed last year. Now that winter winds have removed the leaves, it is much easier to see them. But sometimes those same wind damage the nests severely. New nests are built every year.
This species is black and white, rather than black and yellow like other yellowjackets, which nest below ground.
They are said to be "aggressively defensive". But because their nests are fairly high in trees and usually away from habitations, I don't think they are usual culprits in "wasp stings" at picnics.
The burrowing yellowjackets are notorious for attacking picnics, where they are attracted to meat, sugar, and water. They have been known to crawl inside soda cans, with very unpleasant results for the drinker.

Picture #1 in this All EMD Saturday Night Special is today's catch of the Z-NYCLAC in a sucker hole. The weather had it all today with bouts of sun, clouds, sleet, snow flurries, and wind. I-40 traffic is probably getting that out of that dark cloud above the power right now. Multiple subdivisions are still recovering from the double winter storm that rolled through northern AZ a few days ago and Winslow is trying to stay as fluid as possible with trains lined up on either side of it. DS9 routed these guys over to M1 at Arntz to get around lower priority traffic, but they would be held up at Manila for a few minutes, then jump around another westbounder at Hibbard, before landing on the pad for a crew change. There is another S train holding back there on M2 that stretches back out of the frame.
