Not sure what the train Id is on this train. But I'm going to guess it got pretty high priority, with all the Fed Ex vans on the second half of the train. There are also a few UPS trailers mixed i... (more)

Looking rough around the edges. UP 6574 and 9047 are the sole power for this manifest. And it is showing as the train is grinding it out at about 10 miles an hour.

4014 crosses the Servier River with the cement plant in the back ground. A nice photo location no mater the train. A dream come true with the big boy going over this line.
