Classic Chrome: BNSF piggyback on the Rio Grande.


The ‘Ides of March’ 1997; Sagers, Utah along Union Pacific’s old Denver & Rio Grande Western mainline.

Fellow photographer Mel Patrick and I were traveling back from WinteRail ’97 (held in Stockton, California) and made a project of photographing trains in the Utah and Nevada deserts.

It was at 6:38 AM that I exposed this trailing view of a short BNSF piggyback train heading eastward toward Denver.
