BNSF manifest freight H MEMGAL9 07A works its way eastbound (though it is actually headed west at this particular moment) through rural Orchard Farm, MO. Above the train, a storm is building that will soon dump buckets worth of rain onto the many crops in the area. Trailing the leading CSX SD70MAC is BNSF 588, a 1989-built B40-8. It is quite uncommon to see one of these working a manifest freight, and amazingly, this was the first of two on two consecutive trains. The succeeding manifest had the next unit on the roster, BNSF 589, in the trailing position.
