Railfanning Wyoming and Montana - 3D, Powder River Basin

Hi, We chased the last train in my previous post and

caught the DPUs again at the Edwards Road bridge where

it met a loaded UP train.

Logan Hill provided a parade of trains and a variety of angles to photograph them. Here UP empties climbed the east slope,

reached the summit and
headed down hill where they met a laoded UP train climbing the west slope (above and three below).


The road engines on the left passed the DPUs on the right.


During a pause between trains Jim Kleeman, far right, posed a group photo using our Chevy Tahoe as a prop. That's Bill Kalkman standing next to Jim, and Jim's brother Jay on the far left. I'm in the driver's seat.

The parade resumed with eastbound BNSF coal loads (above and below),


followed by westbound BNSF empties (above and below),


and UP empties (above and two below).



After checking out Bill, WY we moved to a spot just east of there where we photographed a loaded UP train and

BNSF empties.

At our final stop in the Powder River Basin we shot this empty BNSF train.

Thanks for looking.
