BNSF 2184
Title:  BNSF 2184
Description:  This view of BNSF 2184 shows it under one Rock Island's roadway bridges. Originally this view was taken in a vertical format. This unit is a GP38, in the Rock Island "lower yard" on Christmas Eve 2011. This yard was shared at the time with the IC&E (now CP Rail) and the Iowa Interstate (IAIS) lines. I had many chances to do some good photo shootin' during my two years in the Quad Cities!

Description:  BNSF 526 and 547 powered a train upstream (north) on the former Milwaukee/Soo/DME-ICE and current Canadian Pacific on 12-26-2011.

BNSF 2017, conductor's side view
Title:  BNSF 2017, conductor's side view
Description:  BNSF 2017 faced east (upstream) with several freight cars on 12-31-2011 in the Rock Island "lower yard", used by BNSF, IAIS, and the former ICE/DME (now Canadian Pacific). I couldn't do much about that early afternoon glare!

That's the Centennial Bridge in the background, a highway bridge crossing the Mississippi River and linking Rock Island, IL with Davenport, IA.
