    Seattle Sub - UP Trackage rights question

    Later it was certainly used to be able to run around an Olympian Hiawatha by a Bipolar, but as far as I know the original intent was to head north.

    Seattle Sub - UP Trackage rights question

    Also, the very southern bit of the Seattle Transit Tunnel actually started out as a rail tunnel for UP and MILW to head north, Milwaukee of course already having assets up around Belingham and Everett, as well as on the Olympic Peninsula that were only accessible by rail barge.

    Seattle Sub - UP Trackage rights question

    What you saw over Stevens Pass was most likely a consist of UP units that BNSF is using to power a BNSF train. UP does not have trackage rights over Stevens Pass. UP does however have trackage rights from Portland to Tacoma on the BNSF, an arrangement that goes back to the NP/GN days. Between...

    Monte Holm locomotive movement

    This is awesome! I remember seeing the locomotive in Moses Lake as a little kid and always wondered about it... And when I was in Alaska I saw a book about the exploits of locomotive number 557... I had no idea that these were one and the same until now.

    Will the EMD SD40-2, SD50 & SD60 meet the Tier 4 emissions requirements in 2015?

    They don't need to, unless I am much mistaken. As previously manufactured equipment, they do not fall under the auspices of the EPA Tier 4 emissions requirements. If a locomotive has been remanufactured, then it would have to meet the EPA requirements. Any new locomotives manufactured by EMD...
