BNSF 9628 West by East Mored on 10-4-2011

A pair of EMD SD70MAC engines in "Executive" colors haul a "Z" train west on the Aurora sub. BNSF 9809 is the second unit.
The C&I dispatcher told one eastbound to hold at Steward and to "put your feet up" while at least four trains were run westbound.
Thanks to RUclipsr Matt ( MattBNSF1991 ) for the tip.

You know as soon as it clears Rochelle and sets aim toward Polo, he's gonna open the taps and probably paste Chadwick at 60+ nice catch on the cream-and-greens.

So common to see these units out grunting a coal train along the rails. Nice of BNSF to let them out to play once in a while.
