    As I caught my first glimpse of it, I had a similar thought... a model?

    Then I remembered the thread title and saw the ugly box trailing behind that beautiful machine...

    And a perfect location to catch that beauty.

    I think the BNSF bought the NS West Virginia Secondary, we have seen a lot of their engines here.

    This was taken at Clifton Forge, Virginia in July of 1991 while waiting to catch the Amtrak Cardinal to Chicago.

    Those do look like new containers. Any idea of their destination?

    At first glance, I thought that second UP unit on Stein's Hill was an SP patch....And the BNSF unit under the signals looks to have some dynamic damage. Interesting detail to file away for future reference.
