Over a snowy Marias Pass, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal train passes a frozen mountain lake west of Bison, Montana, on December 21, 1998. A trio of newish “Heritage I” GE C44-9Ws power the train—Nos. 987, 994 and 970.

After the top section of the signalbridge was torched off, the lifts dropped the section onto the rails so the signals could be cut off.

A CSX crew is at work on CSXT 6483 in their Cayce Yard in South Carolina in late September 2024. Here the engineer looks out f the window and appears to be talking to her conductor before moving the train ahead slowly.

CSXT 6483 was built for Seaboard Coast Line in 1980 as SCL 6621, to Seaboard System (SBD) 6621, to CSXT 6387 before CSX renumbered it 6483.

By the way, whoever did the weathering on this one does nice work. The patina is excellent, LOL.
