Gallup NM Make Way Sunset.....by Reid Callaway
Resting BNSF 3734 Locomotive Railroad Train Art
While going thru the American midwest on my way to Los Angeles, I passed a town that struck my "horse fancy" named, Gallup, New Mexico. You see, I had been chasing a BNSF train headed west for sometime that afternoon speeding ahead of it on the I-40 expressway (Route 66) and stopping at spots where I could get some great images of these looooong trains with five or six locomotives pulling and two locomotives pushing. Well it stopped in Gallup, New Mexico long enough for me to set up my tripod and camera for this great shot with the perfect backdrop of the western sunset sky! This train and others like it were traveling east, away from the setting sun! I was headed west. The BNSF train I had been chasing is behind me in this image and made for another great shot with that train coming west as it passed thru the Gallup town stores. That image can be found here in this gallery as well. This train has six locomotives pulling it and I can't see the end to see how many are pushing!...... Enjoy!
Buy this great image for the train lover in your family!
The BNSF Railway Company (reporting mark BNSF) is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, second to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), its primary competitor for Western U.S. freight. BNSF is one of seven North American Class I railroads and has 44,000 employees, 32,500 miles (52,300 km) of track in 28 states, and more than 8,000 locomotives.
It has three transcontinental routes that provide rail connections between the western and eastern United States. BNSF trains traveled over 169 million miles (272 million km) in 2010, more than any other North American railroad. The BNSF and UP have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the Western U.S. and share trackage rights over thousands of miles of track.
The BNSF Railway Company is the principal operating subsidiary of parent company Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the railroad's parent company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.
According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It also hauls bulk cargo. For instance, the railroad hauls enough coal to generate around ten per cent of the electricity produced in the United States.
The creation of BNSF started with the formation of a holding company on September 22, 1995. This new holding company purchased the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (often called the "Santa Fe") and Burlington Northern Railroad, and formally merged the railways into the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway on December 31, 1996. On January 24, 2005, the railroad's name was officially changed to "BNSF Railway," using the initials of its original name.
Gallup is a small city in New Mexico, on historic Route 66. To the east, red sandstone cliffs dominate Red Rock Park, home to Anasazi archaeological sites from around 300 A.D. Here, Red Rock Museum focuses on Anasazi heritage, with displays of pottery and silver. In the city, Gallup Cultural Center has Native American crafts and cultural exhibits. The Rex Museum covers local history, including railroad and mining.
Gallup (Navajo: Naʼnízhoozhí) is a city in McKinley County, New Mexico, United States, with a population of 21,678 as of the 2010 census. A substantial percentage of its population is Native American, with residents from the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni tribes. Gallup is the county seat of McKinley County and the most populous city between Flagstaff and Albuquerque, along the historic U.S. Route 66.
The city was founded in 1881 as a railhead for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and named after David Gallup, a paymaster for the railroad. It is on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways. Because of the nearby rugged terrain, it was a popular location in the 1940s and 1950s for Hollywood Westerns.
