With a typical Arizona sunset comes an eastbound UP freight approaching Rillito.

The face of UP 4755 at the east end of Rillito siding is illuminated by the approach of a westbound as 4755's engineer reviews his paperwork.

Amtrak is speeding by a crewless, Brand New UP 70. Amtrak is running late- as usual

With a large saguaro cactus standing majestically near the main line, CSX 7731 East rolls past Rillito's west switch as it heads for Tucson.

A East bound crew waits for hours till they get out of this siding. A west bound streaks by with more to come. The engineer stood next to me since they were going no where fast.
