With implied roar
Title:  With implied roar
Description:  BNSF 7766 gets out of Bealville. Modern units are so sound-muffled that it can be deceiving at times as to how much exertion is being cast. One contemplates a set of F or GP units, or second generation power that would have been roaring. Comparatively, these babies just seem to walk into the grade, although there is no doubt about their abilities. Some of the newer units are already beginning to get a seedy appearance.

Yampai Afternoon-I
Title:  Yampai Afternoon-I
Description:  The spirits of trainwatching smiled this afternoon as activity at Yampai was fairly steady. In the days of 251 (current of traffic) dispatching , the speed trains made over hills was valuable information in determining their future location in relation to following hotshots. On UP we would use their speed over Creston to determine speed over Tipton and, later, on the climb from Spring Valley to Altamont. BNSF 5279 comes chugging up the grade from Pica to Yampai. Dispatchers would use information about speed on the hill here to determine what a train would do climbing west from Needles.

Description:  And old Wyoming railroader like myself knows about the havoc the wind can wreak upon traffic; as evidenced by this windbreak installed on the mountain side of the trestle at Glacier Park. BNSF 7841 has been a long time coming, but will afford a nice chase west for awhile.

Hi Line Vista
Title:  Hi Line Vista
Description:  BNSF 7841 West clings to the edge of the mountain as it negotiates a tight curve between Sheds 8 and 7 west of Blacktail on the descent from Marias Pass toward the Flathead river valley. From the look of some of those boulders, it appears the slide fence has been useful over time.
