BNSF C44-9W #1113

NS 048, the Blue Unit of Barnum and Bailey's Circus Train, approaches the Vine Street crossing and semaphore in Kalamazoo shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning on September 11th, 2007. The train, powered by BNSF Heritage I #1113 (with changed out Heritage II front door), and BN green #9237, is slowing as they approach the BO Tower and diamonds, and are bound for Hughart Yard in Grand Rapids. The 60-car train stretches up the hill and around the corner in this zoomed view. The triangle with dot sign is to indicate a flanger to raise the blade for the switch ahead.
