A westbound stacker paused on the side of old US Highway 80 in Midland, Texas gets lit up by the golden rays of the setting sun. Union Pacific 7730 and 7737 are both ES44ACs (or C45ACCTEs as UP calls them).
UP4756 and UP4768 pass Jean on the outskirts of Las Vagas with a stack train bound for Yermo. I actually waited to take this illustration for 5 hours. I saw the train awaiting a line up in Vagas and drove ahead to capture it. if I had known how long I would have waited, I would have gone off...
UP4792, UP4903, UP4259, UP4119, UP8528 pass the Keenbrook Overlook near Blue Cut with a westbound stacker. The scanner reported this train was 8,722ft long! 6 August 2002.
UP2002 was a great capture at Beaumont Hill on 6 August 2002 with an eastbound stack train. Picked this up on the scanner over two hours before and just sat it out.
