Remarks: On a snowy Sunday the Union Pacific runs a Officer special to Dalhart, TX over the Joint Line, seen here cresting the Palmer Divide at Palmer Lake, CO While this storm dropped about 12 inches the sun would be shining by the time this train reached Colorado Springs 15 miles distant.
Remarks: A Powder River Coal train destined for the TVA Widows Creek Fossil Plant passes through an interesting limestone cut. The rock formations look more at home in Arizona, probably a result of the primitive blasting techniques used when the Edgefield & Kentucky RR graded this line in the mid-1850's.
Remarks:MAC ATTACK! Yeah.. Of the 90 variety! Two SD9043MAC's lead a Northbound empty auto train up Jack London Square on another beeeeeautiful November afternoon in the Bay Area.
Remarks: UP 7767 leads an eastbound stack train out of Flanigan past an old concrete phone booth along the former Southern Pacific Modoc ROW. Until it was abandoned past Flanigan in the late sixties, the Modoc crossed the WP at grade less than a mile west of here and continued south along Pyramid Lake toward Wadsworth and Fernley.
Remarks: Union Pacific no. 5208 leading four additional six-axles on the Roseville-Portland (Lake Yard) train under stormy Veteran's Day skies in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
