@railfan101 no because half of those engines are in Michigan because of coal operations. At least 14-20 came through Battle Creek yesterday (September 1st).
@5292Nate I don't mind K3LA's, it's the locomotives that I'm tired of. Since I live in Southern California, BNSF runs mostly GE locomotives here, which is kinda annoying to me since UP runs both GE AND EMD here. I just wanna see a better variety from BNSF. That's all.
The High mounted and nose mounted light units are no different it was just a design phase to try out both just like the MACs they had lights in both configurations however it has little to do with safety or visibility I know conductors that say they like one way or the other some don't care I prefer them hi and above what I am looking at plus I believe it projects the light further down the track, by the way since SD45's they have been experimenting with Hi and low mounted lights .....
that is correct do not get caught trespassing although you already were by being that close the tracks the legal limit is 15 ft from the nearest rail minimum . I am not trying to piss you off but as a BNSF employee I do not want people to lose thee right to film trains.....
You are right… I don't want to see anyone get into any trouble. Some things like this can get you into serious trouble anymore. I know it's hard especially for people like me who have been railfans for over 30 years, but it is the law of the land anymore. Luckly for me I have a good standing record with the NS yard in my hometown. I remember when it was still Southern Railway. I pretty well have the run of the place. I even have my own keys. I even wear PPE when on the property.
@renotimothy I love how every time someone posts a cool video like this, there's always a "don't trespass" nerd who has to admonish all of YouTube about the illegality of getting close. Reminds me of hall monitors from middle school. Lame
@C45ACCTE The dont tresspass nerds are mostly railroad workers like myself who understand the extreme danger's of the railroad unlike most railfans.. Keep tresspassing and you might find your self either arrested by the railroads own police dept or fined and then arrested by the Federal Railroad Administration... This is just a professional piece of advice.. The more railfans tresspass, the more extreme measures railroads will take to keep railfans away.
@fyadcorp Youobviously do not work for the railroad and understand how this stuff works. The arrest will come from either the railroads own police force or from the state or local police. The FRA can have you arrested in a moments notice for tresspassing as well as issue you a personal fine of up to $10,000 dollars.
@fyadcorp Here is the key word in your sentence "worked" meaning you use to work for them. Obviously you have not had to sit through any kind of safety guarterly training classes where one part is talking about rail security given by the FRA them selves. As govt regulators they can and will fine the public for tresspassing. I guess you have not had a chance to look in their little hand held books they carry with them that shows how much they can fine railroad employees and the public.
@CSXtrackworker The FRA's jurisdiction is limited to the carriers, shippers, and railroad employees. They keep data on deaths caused by trespassing but lack any power of arrest or ability to fine civilians.
The only people who can arrest and cite trespassers are sworn law enforcement officers (police, DHS, etc.). The FRA employs no such officials. The only fines that can be assessed must be done so in a court of law.
I love the ACES beter sounding and better looking then the GEVOS EMD ALL THE WAY!!!! thanks gos to the SD60MACS for starting this evalution of AC Power.

some explain to me why UP, MRL, and BNSF have that headlight configiration on some of the aces but not on others. I would guess a visilbilty issue?

@CSXtrackworker I worked for BNSF in train service, the FRA cannot fine nor arrest non-railroad employees, all they can do is call the police.
