I learned very fast with this railroad. I couldn't just cut through the bushes, or run up a hill. The foliage is thick, with a lot of mean thorns. Lots of uneven ground, and water.

Almost feels like UP is trying out a new paint job here. Instead of Grey and Yellow, It's Brown and Yellow with gray trucks. Reminds me of the short lived Utah Southern with their SD40's painted B... (more)

Union Pacific 9085, 6435 roll through on a Saturday morning, shaking awake the slumbering town of Stockton, Utah.
