Love it. I can just detect the motion. Perfectly timed for me.

I immediately noticed the obvious train but the started to take in the rest of the detail and there is plenty to look at.

Thanks for posting.

Superb. If the BNSF has a yearly calendar like the Union Pacific this should be in it.

You captured the exciting moment when the locomotive starts to cross the road . These colors are vivid and not garish . Rollin' thunder !

Thank you all for your kind comments ! Trains (Union Pacific and BNSF) are a marvelous staple of the American Southwest.

Great image!
I really like the BNSF livery, incorporates the heritage of the earlier rail lines it now represents.
