BNSF 8948 - a photo on Flickriver

BNSF 8948

            With the spots that we picked out, some of them were a priority over others. This was one of them. 

The drive along the 4th Sub is beautiful, but they are doing every bit of track speed, which means you have to get "creative" to be able to get back in front in a timely manner. Up to this point, things had been pretty smooth.

Coming into Plains, though, we found the speed limit drop drastically. It's 25mph through town, and we were warned ahead of time that the cops were very strict about speeding. He was coming up on us fast though, and a combination of the slow main street traffic and an anxious Sam next to me made me whip onto a side street and try to buy us a few seconds. 

Shockingly, it worked. Pro tip: cross the tracks and drive through town on the road on the west side. We would have been screwed out of this shot otherwise.

We would call it a day after getting one more shot north of town and headed back. We had another early morning to look forward to.
