Title:
Love those Warbonnets!
Description:
Despite "BNSF" initals under the cab, and an orange AC unit, the middle dash-nine in this lashup still reeks of the Santa Fe. Love those Warbonnets! The train in question is an eastbound grain job getting underway again after being stopped in nearby Long Lake by dispatch.

Title:
Grain on the move again
Description:
The crew of this eastbound grain train had to stop for a red signal over in Long Lake. Now they are getting a wheel into the train again as they pass County Road 15 eastbound again. It is interesting all three units are dash nines modeling three different paint jobs! My pick? Why, the ex-Santa Fe Warbonnet, of course.

Getting Out Of Town
