Description:  Found this one at the former BN yard in Houston, where power from all over gathers. The one that got away: a super-clean D&RGW EP30 drifted past just as security escorted me to the gate.

MRL-BN Moment
Title:  MRL-BN Moment
Description:  While it's not entirely evident with the haze, there is nothing but MRL & BN power seen here. First, C-SCMCEC is headed east passing a set of engines set out on the wye while in the background, ML has tied down their train (with MRL SD70Ace) and cranked up a BN Geep sitting in the yard, which they were forced to use to perform unadvertised & unannounced switching that the BNSF crew left undone for ML's pickup.

MRL ML w/Six Motors
Title:  MRL ML w/Six Motors
Description:  They got here somewhere around 1300hrs & it is now 1800hrs....they are STILL not ready to go, but need headroom out of the yard to perform another switching move. The straight set out/pick up that normally takes 30 minutes or less was not to be had today. BNSF evidently left them more work than they could have ever hoped for in the yard, I am pretty sure they moved each & every car around a dozen times.
