Las Cruces - Evening Freight

On August 15th, 2010 at 7:24 PM, this northbound freight train is crossing Valley Drive, seen here in silhouette.  The train was led by a BNSF SD70ACe (fairly unusual here) and a Norfolk Southern C44-9w (fairly common here).  The train had a little bit of everything: strings of CN boxcars, corn syrup tanks, BNSF grain hoppers, coil steel cars, an autorack or two, and even a double-stack 5-pack on the rear.

More photos of this train on the BNSF Action page.
