BNSF 920281 |
Description: |
BNSF 920281 is the end car of the rail train and you can see the blast doors are open. The Herzog truck at the end is about to select the next rail as the Caterpillar digger shows up to dig a trench to burry the rail so the crossing can still be used by the farmers. |

I zoomed in to get a good shot of the rail and see it bend as it gets closer to the ground. This was pretty cool to watch them set out the rail. |

The Whole Train While Dropping Rail |
Description: |
HZGX 541907 is at the end guiding the rail. This massive rail train probably has the largest amount of rail for a rail train that I have ever seen. Just as I shot this picture more BNSF maintenance crews showed up to dig the crossing up so the rail could be burried. |
