Very cool shot, Darren. It's like an aerial from the ground!

Epic shot! Your work depicting the Trona has been the best I've seen. Keep the Trona shots coming!

I'm missing those bright Trona red and silver SD40ms, but also trying to image this same scene with the Baldwin DT-6-6-2000s and AS616s of the old days.

Eye-catching shot. Gotta love the wide open vistas of the West. Not too many places back East where you can capture an entire train.

Soda ash is used in many products. It was used in brass, soda acid fire extinguishers ( my dad used to sell them) and as a feed water treatment for steam locomotives and steam boilers in general. The fact that there are remote places with alkali deposits is amazing. Without demand for this phenomenal product, trains like this would not exist. Trona is the abreviation for trisodium hydrogendicarbonate dihydrate. You can find this information on line. Daren you have opend a Pandora's box.
