Cold Morning
Title:  Cold Morning
Description:  Just to the west of Las Animas Colo US Hwy 50 crosses over the BNSF on a bridge that affords some nice shots of eb trains. On this rather very cold late February morning we find an EB/SB UP Wind Energy Train that got stopped by a detector and which has the crew walking the train. I believe the temps were in the single digits if not below 0. At least the sun was out.
