My 500th train of 2008 came on DINA
Author: zwsplac

In my quest to see 1000 trains this year, I've been logging each sighting in a notebook. Early in the morning last Saturday, as I tallied up another page worth of trains, I noticed I was getting close to the halfway point of 500. Although I didn't quite realize it when I grabbed this shot, the first train in daylight was #500, BNSF 5271 west with a Z-train at Walapai, AZ. The 3rd unit in the train is the fabled BNSF 8197 with the dwo striping schemes. Due to the lack of contrast in the mountains, this one looks pretty nice when converted to B&W. I hope you like it.

And for those of you who did the math, I am lagging a bit on the year. I'm currently about 60 trains short of where I need to be (573 by midnight tonight) but I expect my remaining trips to the Transcon this year will catch me up and then some.

you must not be going out for very long... I think I see at least 1000 trains a year but it helps to ride or work for a railroad I guess.

While Uke lives, and works railroad, and breathes the fumes as well... Uke doesn't log his sightings in a book.

Counting trains isn't a hobby. It's a sickness.
An obsession if you will.

Poor soul needs to see a medical doctor soon. Preferably a psychiatrist. Or a hooker. Or three!

Uke is right.....you're liable to do some stupid things in the quest for a picture of a train.

Oh Bucket, your lyrics are magic.

Man, I'd hate to think how many trains I might have already seen this year.

Why would you have such an awful thought?  The mere thought of it is depressing.  Haven't been "running" trains 4-0 years.

Bucket, 4-0?  Really?  Oh, my.  Be sure and blow out the candle and keep us updated with those insightful PWI's.
