Remarks & Notes

A quintet of UP GP38-2s lead by UP 2049 idle the night away at the Argo Yard engine facility in Seattle in the company of a couple NW2s and a few cabooses. In the mid 1970s the slogan "Dependable Transportation" was being replaced by "We Can Handle It", part of a relatively short lived PR campaign. By the later 70s no slogan, just the UP herald on the cab sides.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 446,455
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
