Same Company, Different Railroad - a photo on Flickriver

            NS 2680, a recently re-activated SD70M-2, meets NS 8098 as it leads a westbound oil train through Rochelle, IL.

One would normally see this kind of meet out east somewhere, but today this is happening on BNSF - typical run-through power on a road train while a heritage unit is on the local R-CHI476 job. Go figure.
