Mile 30, a famous spot for us 'fans and on November 12 2006 I went out on a lark and photographed only two trains. This was one of them and while at the time, I would have said 'wrong leader' - my slightly older self now says 'right leader'. The train is 422 and of course this sounded really good. These were golden days.

    I love the class lights! At Christmas we like to turn on the red and green ones. Lately the shop forces stopped putting light bulbs in the sockets. They are no fun those guys :-)

    Virtually unspoiled SanteFe (just BNSF under the cab numbers), super nice. :-) It really tops the leasers we have been shooting this summer.
