Glad to see you were facing the headlights the proper way, & not directly in the crews faces. Bravo Zulu for doing it that way. I'm sure the crew appreciated it too. This looks worthy enough, to be (& as good as) one of the clips from the Extreme Trains, "Circus Train" episode, especially with the War Bonnet running point. Thanks for showing me this! 5/5*
The station closed in August 1996 after Amtrak moved the Southwest Chief to the BN and the lights stayed on for a couple years but kids kept breaking station windows at night so they shut them off. I was wrong, it was 1999.
cant be BNSF 8248 8248 is in h2 scence 2002!!!

They couldn`t have picked a better lead unit...too bad the FP45s have been gone since `98. That would have been the only better pick!

If the station lights were still on it woukd have been much brighter but they have been off for 12 years.

Wow... 12 years. you know why they have been off for such a long time? Is the area abandoned?
