The LMX name and colors may be seen on the outside, but these engines are effectively Burlington Northern's, run by BN crews and maintained by the company. LMX leases these units long-term to the railroad. |

LMX 8523, a B39-8 and SF 897 begin to enter some of the heaviest trackage in Lincoln as they pass Memorial Stadium. The two center tracks are BN's, while the one diverging to the right is the old MoPac, now UP right-of-way. The parking lot at top left was once part of the jointly run MP/CNW yard. The rails on the bottom left lead to a steel plant. 7/22/95 |

LMX 8523 makes it's way out of the Lincoln Station yards into Hobson Yard. 7/22/95 |

LMX 8525 makes its final approach to east Hobson Yard. |

LMX 8588 waits at 17th Street near the state fairgrounds. In Lincoln, the usual pattern for westbound traffic from Omaha means stopped and waiting trains just east or west of the Havelock Shops, east of 17th Street at the fairgrounds, Lincoln Station, and just east of Hobson Yard. Eastbound trains don't stop after leaving Hobson. 1995 |

LMX 8588 vents some smoke as it revs forward to Lincoln Station and Hobson Yard - a perfect example of a great shot gone bad! I'm not proud of this one *grin* It pays to be aware of your surroundings and lighting when you take action shots, otherwise you may find an un-anticipated telephone pole's shadow smack in the middle of your shot. 1995 |
