BNSF 718 Gets around (someone just posted a pic of it in Pasco, WA). Here it is in July of 2017 leading the V BluPhx over Little Hells Canyon on its way to Phoenix, AZ.
[I presume that BNSF engines still in a "war bonnet" paint scheme are getting rare.]

[The "tiger teeth" in the spillway is a reminder that it doesn't rain very often in Arizona, but when it does, it can be a lot of water. One reason is that the soil does not absorb the rain like it does in the Midwest.]

The satellite image caught the Hells Canyon Tank with water still remaining in it.
