Another great variety this week, thanks to all of you. Kurt, when you originally posted yours of 4449 on Stampede Pass, I recalled saying while on the train "there sure are a lot of power lines along this pass" and for sure there are.

 

Power lines are the bane of rail photographers.

 

Good pics all!! And yeah, that electric switcher is a cool little gem!!

Model that!!

 

Yes! Stampede has always been tough to shoot-those powerlines come straight from Grand Coulee Dam and closely follow the NP-BN-BNSF line to where they're almost always in the way!
