Here is the wye at Burnet, TX, in April of 2003. I was the conductor that day, and I dropped off the train as we were backing around the wye to turn the train. So, the train is moving away from me in this picture. The engine is a very rare Alco RSD15 "Alligator"- the only engine of its type still running. It is a 2400 hp 6 axle unit last used in iron ore hauling. We painted it in the SP Black Widow scheme, although the engine was originally a Santa Fe engine. The track we run over once was owned by the Southern Pacific, and is now owned by Capital Metro of Austin.
