    Would this be the tunnels along I-80 between Elko and Carlin, NV?

    I have a pic of the tunnels you are talking about. They are farther apart and built by 2 different rr on WP and the other SP. The bridges are painted green. I am going 2 hold off a little on the answer until the Tunnel Junkie gets his chance. Another clue will be along soon

    There is a special fusilage (3 Boeing 737+ BNSF business cars) train heading west across Montana, on MRL, right now. Memory is not quite certain where for photo location, but this appears to be it. So, Jim, you caught something very unique!!!

    Ken, I-90 parallels the old NP/MRL for many miles, no telling where this is, but my guess is near Spring Gulch, MT.

    Hemi-

    Oh yes. I do know the parallel situation. :D

    According to the time stamp when Jim posted, 10:01am here. According to info elsewhere, the train departed Livingston, west, at about 10:00am MST. So, somewhere east of there?

    I drive truck too and was told to check this thread out, nice pics. those Tunnels on the last page, I just drove past them on my last trip to Rock Springs from Corinne, the bridges cross the Webar river bear Taggart utah, the line crosses the river 6 time and tunnels twice, on both lines in the canyon. This is the Weber Canyon, Echo Canyon is the canyon the runs east of Echo with I80. I don't want you to think I'm a know it all, its just happens to be the area I call home.
