Auto Start
While checking out the yards in Alliance, NE we found this shiny SD70ACe on the end of a coal train staged on the eastern edge of North Yard. The locomotive started beeping: it was a warning that the auto-start had been engaged and the locomotive would fire up shortly. After a quick setup I took this 30 second exposure that caught the initial plume of exhaust after the cold start. A half hour later the train was on the move east on the Sand Hills Subdivision.
