BNSF 5668 and Wind Blade Train west of Batavia, IA 6/11/23

On the evening of June 11th, 2023, I was intending to begin a livestream of trains in Ottumwa, Iowa. Driving over BNSF's Ottumwa Subdivision on the Highway 149 bridge, I saw a loaded wind blade train proceeding east through downtown. Having only seen these trains a handful of times over the years, I abandoned plans for the livestream and instead drove due east of Ottumwa to get a shot of this train passing through the countryside. The train made pretty good time getting out of Ottumwa and up the hill to Agency, so I had little time to spare before it arrived at this crossing, on the west side of Batavia. The train is powered by two locomotives placed on each end of the consist, BNSF 5668 (AC4400CW) and BNSF 5340 (Dash 9-44CW).
