Westbound
Title:  Westbound
Description:  A CNW GE leads an interesting mix of power on a westbound van train. I had come to Cozad to make a pick up on an automotive load. It was scheduled to go at 1400 that day, so I spent most of it out trackside shooting whatever rolled past. I saw about 40 trains from 0800 til I went over to the customer around 1330. Of course it rained all day!!
