How often do you see this in a rail yard? It was on a military train getting ready to highball north out of BNSF Saginaw Yard:

Here's an increasingly rare sight - BNSF still wearing a warbonnet. Engine is #4710, a Dash9-44CW:

And ho-hum, here comes a loaded coal train. Power on the point was ES44AC #6028 followed by sister unit #5727:

DPUs were 6290 and 5990, also ES44AC units:

No. The tank picture was taken from the street. The other pictures were taken from the parking lot of the Saginaw Chamber of Commerce, which sits aside the yard lead tracks.

I'd expect anyone taking pics of military trains would set off the "see something, say something" crowd.
