Faust, Utah suddenly became a happening place. Two westbounds had to come to a stop. So an eastbound could pull into the siding and let the two westbound pass. UP 6066 is the second of the westbou... (more)
Now that the eastbound is secure in the siding in the distance on the left. UP 9085 leads the first of two westbounds. As the two trains can be on their way again at Faust, Utah.
I was able to go out and catch the UP 1989 Rio Grande heritage Unit. It was leading the MWCOG-17. He out on the Lynndyl Subdivision, eastbound at Faust, Utah.
Just enough power, this portion of the line is a pretty good climb. Rolling along at around 20 miles an hour, it's not a very long train, but it must be heavy. I think it's the MOGWC.
SD70ACe-T4 3081 leads a MOGWC this morning. Must of been a heavy one, as the three units up front and the DPU were all working hard.
UP 8901 with DPU 5838 are grinding their guts out. With a 188 car train at Faust, Utah on the Lynndyl Subdivision. No room for error if one of units hiccup's.
I got the chance to catch a Yuma to Council Bluffs engineering special. Lead by a shiny SD70ACe-T4 3084.
