Description One day while out killing time, I caught this westbound coal drag empties rolling through Hays. I gave chase, and managed to get ahead of it to get a handful of shots. Here's the first of a few.

On the point are 5 units: UP C45AC-CTE (ES44AC) #7673, AC4400CW # 7203 & #6843, AC4460CW #7010, and C44AC-CTE #5751.

Note the modern milepost marker on the left, and the original 1800s-era marker on the right.

I love the smooth foliage! Altough I would rather see "more train - less landscape" - just a personal preference, your shot is great!

Typically I do keep the consist fairly dominant in my shots, but this was too good at full zoom not to use.
