Train 16T was lead by a BNSF unit on the last Saturday of April 2003, seen here meeting westbound train 185 working uphill.
Later that day, the lead unit of train 148 pretends to be a steam locomotive
as it waits for a couple of westbound trains to clear.

A BNSF 'pumpkin', a UP 'flags, flares and wings' SD70M, and a 'catfish'
make for an interesting power trio on train 16T in April 2003.
This colorful consist is complemented by the white and voilet
spring trees and a string of flats loaded with light green pipe,
brightening up an otherwise drab low-sunlight shot.
Thanks are due to Chris Starnes for the heads-up on this oddball consist.
