Converse Curves

Over mile of coal curves down to Converse Junction in a scene that summed up the Powder River Basin for me. The constant march of loads and empties rolling north and south, amongst red dirt grasslands, power lines and mine equipment. In the foreground are two empty train sets heading into Antelope Mine, ready to load low-sulfer bituminous coal from the Anderson and Canyon Seams. In the distance is a rope shovel and a Union Pacific train at the School Creek Mine.
