Where NP and BN banned 6 axle power, now we see former Santa Fe SD40-2s. 

First view is along Wheeler Rd near the old Simplot plant (there's a new one now too, both in operation.)

Coming up the former Milwaukee Road sugar spur after setting out cars at Seiler. That's Interstate 90 crossing above.
