BNSF NIFA Switching Aurora Jan/4/2012 aka Y-EOL-102

This is a BNSF train out of EOLA Yard that runs as needed to the far north west side of Aurora. Today They had on BNSF GP38-2 # 2119. The Job ID is something like Y-EOL-20. But everyone in EOLA calls it the NIFA Job.. I saw him yesterday Wednesday January 4 2012. BNSF 2119 is an H1 paint. It was a 3-man-crew and the Engineer loved the horn. They also kept a solid 15-18 and it was hard for me to catch them on the branch wile riding my bike 20mph. For Half of the Trip he Ran long hood forward LFH.
Because there are so many different scenes, im going to describe the shots by location,,.

Location 1. BNSF EOLA yard S. McClure St: BNSF 2119 Starts at the engine terminal And goes to the south this of the yard, and Departs Westbound with Two Grey hopper cars.

Location 2. BNSF Highline Above downtown Aurora and Heads over New York St.

Location 3. BNSF Aurora Sub. He's now heading over the Old EJ&E line that went under the BN.
