The Brakeman is inbetween BNSF 8965 and BNSF 5624 connecting up the airlines from both locomotives so that BNSF 8965 can provide brakes to the whole coal train it is pushing up the grade.

BNSF 8965's Brakeman crosses over to the left side of BNSF 8965 to open the airline just behind "F" on BNSF 8965 so that the whole coal train will have brakes.

BNSF 8965 and BNSF 5863 Helper train units get closer to BNSF 5624 for the hook.  I am in the foreground on this very cold December morning.

The Hook was so gentle you could hear the knuckles connect with no jolt or any loud clash like you see and hear most of the time when locomotives hook up to each other.  A Very experienced Engineer was on BNSF 8965 for the HOOK!!!
