BNSF C44-9W 4066 exits Abo Canyon at Scholle, NM on January 13, 2009.

BNSF C44-9W 4066 exits Abo Canyon at Scholle, NM on January 13, 2009. The beginning construction work for the double tracking of the canyon is evident. The third unit is an SD75I which was originally in warbonnet paint. This train was hot on the heels of the manifest led by the 4829 (previous two frames). And two more westbound intermodals are already waiting to descend through the canyon.
