Are those solar panels on the ballast cars?

Stunning! Love this pic, Kevin. Well shot. Thanks for sharing with us.

@Desperado: Yes! The solar panels charge batteries on each car that, in turn, power the doors for dumping the ballast. In fact, each car has a GPS unit that can be programmed by the railroad. The result is that the cars will automatically dump ballast exactly where they are programmed to!
