I posted a "heads up" in that section this afternoon, about 1:15. A train headed by an orange BNSF engine pulled in to refuel. Second engine was the Santa Fe, in faded red paint, #682. Third was a black NS engine.
Included are two photos of the patched Santa Fe engine I saw in the Danville, KY yard today, between 11:30 and noon. I first saw in on the east side, as shown in the 1st photo. That train was stopped for refueling. I made several photos, some with flash. I wound up with better results without flash in that situation. After I did enough with that side, I drove around to the west side and waited for the train to leave, to get the Santa Fe in the clear of trees. I got three photos while it was leaving--one added here.
Before that train showed up, I had left for a little while, and came back to find a train headed by a CP parked for fuel. The sun was getting high, since the time was after 10:30. I had brought along a medium size flash to try and get the lower part of an engine to show up better. I made some with and without flash. It didn't help much, but maybe a little. I had to use the computer to lighten up the lower area on one of those photos. It is included.
Anyway, it was a busy morning. When I got there, I found three yellow UP engines. Two were unhooked and moved over to a waiting train of cars, and it left before long. After that, I went over to where another train had been refueled. It took off, then a while later, the BNSF train eased in. By the time it left, almost noon, I needed to leave too.

Nice catches.
Those ATSF units are pretty rare these days. Great shots, Bill!
Looks like a wore-out bonnet...
Would love to get another one through here...
