Big Lashup
Title:  Big Lashup
Description:  A westbound BNSF mixed merchandise freight heads up the east leg of the wye at Division Street with no less than five units on the head end. Perhaps at least two of these were simply hitching a ride and the engineer had three units for power? (Next time I will try sitting atop a picnic bench at the railfan park here to try to get above the fence for a zoom shot, by the way.)
