After working the morning’s Nebraska Central Platte Valley Turn job as a student conductor, I found out that BNSF 1776, one of three Semiquincentennial units, was leading an empty coal West through Grand Island. At this point it was still prime high-sun conditions, so I tied up and ran home to burn off an hour before embarking on the drive Westward. This allowed me to find the train around 4:30, just as the light became decent enough to shoot in. What followed was a decent chase on the Sand Hills Subdivision, in territory I’ve never shot in before. For going in blind and improvising for most of my shots, I’d like to think I did pretty well.
