    UP 4845

    SD70M 4845 leads a Northbound baretable train past a water spout near the North switch at Wicopee. The water spout and nearby tower still had water flowing through them, so it appears that the water spout is still usable.

    Derailed UP Car 75179

    I stopped to take this photo of a derailed car out in the middle of nowhere. A Kansas state trooper stopped to see if I was having trouble, and told me it had derailed some years ago and just simply left where is, as is.

  13. Quick Turn to Monolith

    Quick Turn to Monolith

    The UP 8314(EMD SD70ACe) and another unit are hustling a block of cement hoppers from the yard at Mojave to the cement plant at Monolith, California on March 10. The crew will be pleased today that they can set out these empties, pick up their loads and be on there way back to Mojave in less...

  14. Leaving Winter Behind?

    Leaving Winter Behind?

    This southbound UP mixed manifest just above Caliente, California last March 9 is moving a lot of power taken from storage. Will the units be put back into service as the economy recovers or will they go to scrap?

  15. A Long Way from Colton

    A Long Way from Colton

    This pastoral setting is a long way from Colton, California and the urban sprawl of the LA Basin. Last March 9 the crew on the UP 5458 (GE ES44AC) will see snow showers, high desert and Cajon Pass before they tie up in Colton.

    Lonely Pusher

    Over 50 years ago, when I was a young buff in Oregon, helpers were manned by an engineer and fireman. Last March 8 UP 8249 (GMD SD9043AC), pushing a UP mixed manifest toward Bakersfield, California, is controlled by a box.

  17. Winter Passes Above Caliente Creek

    Winter Passes Above Caliente Creek

    The engineer of this northward mixed manifest last March 8 may be thinking about how the UP 5412s (GE ES44AC) winter grime contrasts with the greening spring time hills above Caliente, California.

    What Kind of Power?

    The power on this set of UP locomotives at Monolith, California depend on the judgment of the engineer. The wind mills on Pajuela Peak depend on the random action of the wind.

    Building America

    A General Electric ES44AC idles in the Mojave, CA yard on March 7, 2010 waiting for a call on the turn over to the cement plant a Monolith, CA. The conductor may be wondering how long the work will last with the collapse of construction in California and Nevada.
