From the Goddard Road bridge looking west at 14.59 there are two trains staged here at Argentine Yard, possibly waiting for new crews. On the left is what appears to be an oil train, with two ex-BN SD60Ms, consecutively-numbered 1425 and 1424, plus two KCS ES44ACs nos. 4740 and 4714. On the right is manifest with BNSF ES44C4 no. 6513 and SD70MAC no. 9740 on the point. I had to leap over the dividing wall from the pedestrian walkway onto the other side of the road to get this shot, but I was glad I did. The traffic was not too busy and what traffic there was just carefully drove around me. I had the feeling that regular drivers were used to seeing railfans loitering at this spot! But you had to keep your eyes on the road just in case.
