Railfanning the BNSF Phoenix Sub: GEVOs Working the Morning "Z" Train, Surprise, AZ, 2-05-2020

On the outskirts of the Valley of the Sun, 17,600 horses are hustling the morning intermodal up the mild grade of the "Peavine". ES44DC #7273 leads, followed by a pair of ES44C4s, #8176 and 6531, and ES44DC #7260 is the matched bookend. Since the nearby 163rd Ave crossing is another detestable "quiet zone", no horn action on this day. Please enjoy!
