It's Time to Start Taking Train Pictures!

2010-04-08

It may seem a long way off until 2011, but now is a good time to grab your camera and start taking photo entries for the 2011 calendar contest. We are always looking for good seasonal shots, and with winter still gripping the country, your scenic snow shot might just make it into next year's calendar. And with spring just around the corner, get ready to capture some nice green foliage!

Entries must be postmarked no later than July 1. Click here for an entry form.

In addition to considering the season, you should also remember the following:

• Photos must include a BNSF train; only the newest paint scheme will be accepted.
• Horizontal pictures work best for the calendar's format.
• Also, a digital camera that captures at least 8 megapixels is recommended. Pictures should be in focus.
• Digital photos saved and labeled on a disk are preferred. Each photo should be named and have its own entry form.
• Please include a color printout of the digital image.
• Pictures may include BNSF employees working on the railroad.

We also try to capture trains hauling the various commodities we handle as well as photos depicting our broad geographic coverage.

About the photo: Bruce Barrett's award-winning photo appeared on the front of the 2010 BNSF calendar.
