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.
