Starry Saffordville, KS

The old elevator hangs on by a thread illuminated by the conveniently placed rear headlight of BNSF 7175 stopped at Saffordville with the BNSF Train U GDNBIR1 07A. The rear end is just clear of CP Ellinor and CP Ice, where the BNSF La Junta Sub. and Emporia Sub. meet. You never know when the next wind storm will come along and finish the job. I say that and it sounds tongue in cheek, but seriously, there was a tornado on the ground within a mile of this structure about 2 weeks later, so you really never know.

 

The sky off to the left is illuminated by a controlled prairie fire in the Flit Hills around the Bazar vicinity.
