BNSF 7601
Title:  BNSF 7601
Description:  http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=216966&nseq=0 ................................................. The Perfect day, cold weather, snow hitting the camera hard, and wind. Interesting story to go along with this picture. The BNSF stack train had full clearence and all greens to Flag Staff. I was origionally standing at the 9'th street grade crossing, and I see the train. I heard what I thought was another horn and turned around to find out it was only an echo. As I am looking back, I see the signal change from green to red. The train is then put into Emergency. As soon as the train passed me, it changed back to a green, but the engineers were to close to see that. The train was in emergency for a good 10 minutes. It didn't stop over the diomand, but because it was stopped past the signal, the UP mainfest could not pass.
