I was on Facebook, talking to Atreyu (gt3corn), Luke (nwkrailfan), and Jeff (UP Salina Sub) like always when Jeff mentioned an eastbound grain train coming with an SD9043MAC leading. I managed to catch it, and UP 6899 leading a westbound grain train.

I woke up at 5:30, well unwillingly and was pretty bummed out. "Oh darn I missed 2010." was what I thought, after doing chores out south of the river and getting a bite to eat at Mickey D's I came home (no I wasn't driving btw). Had to wait to use the computer and when I did, I found out UP 2010 was still in Salina! Just after that it got a warrant to Junction City then finally to St. Marys. I didn't get a very good shot of it thanks to lighting conditions. Several hours later, LLPX 2287 runs east being called by its trailing unit, UP 315 on the MTPTP 19. Notice its doors.

LOL I doubt it could, maybe it will pick up again in October when 844 is in the area, maybe they'll put 1996 with it.
