UP 8203 - BNSF 3156
Title:  UP 8203 - BNSF 3156
Description:  UP 8203 on point with a triple that... dang, dang, dang! Showed up WAY too quickly as we were just pulling into the parking lot and approaching far too fast to really do much other than hope the previous camera settings could hope to stop a little of the motion in no light, pouring rain, and a soaked photographer skidding onto the platform. BNSF 3156 chortling quietly to herself on the station side spur. (If anyone is interested, I have the confirmation frame shot immediately after this as I panned with the power unit - it appears as JUST the registry number and two axles in the frame, because thats how close you are when on the platform... and Im going to miss it if they ever go to a closed format on the platform like the Tri-Cities.
