Is it my imagination, or are some BNSF trains getting more diesels? I have noticed some trains up here with lots of power, such as 6-7 units, on the head end.
Well it has kind of always been the case here. I live at the end of the line for this part of the BNSF, so the Z trains always arrive with 5 engines per train, so I think they end up with a lot of surplus power at the Richmond yard that they have to send back east (or north or south) where it is needed.

Another nice collection!
Thanks Brad!
