BN QLA

Enid, Oklahoma

Burlington Northern Extra 8046 West, the daily Birmingham to Los Angeles "QLA" train, passing Woodring Airport. The train of TOFC (trailers on flat cars) was headed by SD40-2 locomotives #8046, #8100 and #8148.

The structure seen in the background above the train is the Farmland Industries (now Koch Industries) fertilizer plant.

I was very fortunate in that the "QLA" often arrived at Enid for a crew change between 5 and 6 p.m. This allowed me many opportunities to photograph it while on my way home from work.
