BNSF Dash 9s 5001 & 4474 and Ferromex (Ferrocarril Mexicano) ES44AC 4644 sitting in a siding at Bozeman, Montana with an eastbound manifest on March 8, 2008. They were waiting for a westbound unit grain train to get to the bottom of the hill and drop of two MRL SD70ACes to help them get over the pass to Livingston.

I wish that telephone pole hadn't been there...

Easier to tell apart than the KCS and KCSM engines...especially with the new Southern Belle paint.

Several years ago in western North Dakota there were still several miles of old telephone poles with glass insulators standing along the BNSF Hi-Line. One spring a mighty wind storm came in and knocked all the poles down. Two days after that, there wasn't an insulator to be found. People descended on the poles like vultures! :lmao:

SassyPants said it best. The wireline poles are still there, and appearing to be in service still. You don't see that anywhere anymore.

Though BNSF does still maintain some wire-line service in certain areas (the La Junta sub and Ark City sub come to mind).
