Three different paint schemes wait on the UP main line next to the BNSF office in Rosenberg. Lead locomotive 1104 is in BNSF paint, 683 is in old ATSF Warbonnet and 7822 is in BN Green. Waiting for southbound stack train to clear interlocker so it could switch over to home rails heading north. BNSF tracks in foreground.

Same boat here. The close BNSF tracks I know of for sure is a 3 hour drive.

[Keith]

BNSF track runs riht next to stockshow complex.
Mostly coal, with an occasional freight thrown in.

I included one in my shot. It is one of the predecessors railroads.

Here's a view of the BNSF logo on ES44AC #6080 at the depot in Holland Michigan on Saturday, Nov.10, 2007. I took a pic of the train as it passed by my house, but it didn't turn out too good. I wanted to get a better shot, so I convinced my wife to drive me up town - I had to have more surgery last Wednesday, and am supposed to be taking it easy, and driving is not advised especially when taking the nice narcotics they give you for pain. If you want to see the entire engine, check out my RailImages album.
