Surprise Catch of the Day!
Title:  Surprise Catch of the Day!
Description:  It seems every winter or spring, at least once a year; BNSF's route from Southern California to Northern California and up to Oregon and Washington; is knocked out of service. To keep the traffic flowing, BNSF sends their trains "the long way around" via the Union Pacific, up through Nevada, Utah, Idaho, then back into Oregon. On my way home from school, I spotted an eastbound detoured BNSF train in the distance. I rushed up to "The Cut" in Erda, Utah. The "Faux-bonnet" and the H1 paint schemes trailing behind the lead engine were a cool sight to see so deep in Union Pacific territory.

Title:  SLGW DS13 Off I-80
Description:  This was my first professionally published photo, appearing on pg. 13 of the March 2020 edition of Railfan and Railroad. SLGW DS13 is a former Kennecott Copper high cab GP39, and it wears a striking SLGW paint scheme. I caught it working on the west end of Salt Lake City kicking around some tank cars.
