A peaceful morning along the Columbia River is briefly disturbed by the usual passage of BNSF's Portland to Chicago Z-train, curving along the terrain of the lower Columbia Hills.

One of FXE's newest purchases is this AC44C6M, going east on BNSF's Q-LACLPC6-02. The unit was bought from NS after going through the Wabtec rebuild program, but before delivery. NS changed its mind and wanted to space out their delivery of units longer than what was planned. FXE was in immediate need of units and purchased these from the NS and had them repainted into a primer coat and delivered for use. Eventually they will get the new red and gray FXE scheme when traffic levels permit.

A loaded BNSF grain train continues its dramatic descent to the San Joaquin Valley as it passes through the lush rolling hills of Tehachapi Pass. Spring green has stuck around a bit longer this year thanks to several showers and storms that occurred late in the season.
