BNSF 8995 - a photo on Flickriver

BNSF 8995

            It's bitter cold and the area was dumped on by snow yesterday, so what better to do than go out trackside? 

I wasn't the only one with that idea, as Sam got Ryan and me on the road with the goal of catching a heavy set in the snow that had just come off the Napier. Once we got to Ashland, we found that they had stopped him at Cullum and were routing trains around him. Great.

While we were waiting, my tablet notified me of a snow shuttle that was coming off the Omaha. When in Ashland...shoot the wye I guess? Well, we were there, and we hadn't gotten anything yet, so that's what we did. He pulled up to here and stopped. Shortly after, a truck pulled up and started to work on the switch. I guess the cold and snow was doing a number on that switch and wasn't letting them cross over onto main 2. And guess what? None of them even said a word to us about being out there. They probably thought we were crazy just by being out in this.

Last time it was this cold, Sam and I were chasing a BN GP30 on a branch line. Now look at us. What happened?
