A UP manifest train climbs through freshly fallen snow in Oregon's Blue Mountains between Motanic and Nordeen. The 6 new inches of snow overnight did nothing to deter normal railroad operations.
On cold December morning UP's M-PCHK rolls west across the Baker Valley of northeast Oregon. As is typical for December in the valley, the wind is blowing around 30 mph causing drifts on the highways. No wonder this location is called North Powder!
Burlington Northern Santa Fe's M-EVEVAW (Manifest - Everett, Wash. to Vancouver, Wash.) is pickem' and puttin' them down as he roars past me on Main #1. The high green for a n/b on Main #2 is a grainer that he is going to meet about 4-5 miles down the line towards Castle Rock, Washington.
Until recently 313 was a regular manifest with a bit of everything. Now that the Prince Rupert terminal is open - there are boxes up front!
The train proceeded to work Saskatoon yard for at least two hours. Great way to serve those Intermodal customers!

BNSF #7627 leads the M-TACPAS-1-11 south on Main #1 at Napavine, Washington on a sunny beautiful sunny summer day.. He has a heavy train and is slugging it out going south over the 1.1% grade. Here his is going about 5-10 mph here and is about to gain speed as he hits the flat area south of...
For starters, these aren't real WC engines. For over 30 years they were CN SD40's, the backbone of the fleet. Just like their SD40 brothers before them, who became CN 6000 SD40u series, they were sent for re-building to PSC in the 90s, who by that time was privatized by ALSTOM. Hence they got...
Not that long ago this sight would be unthinkable, back when WC engines stayed on WC rails and CN still had their 278 strong GP40-2LW fleet.
Now that most of it has been retired (~60 left), with the need for 3000h.p. 4-axle power remaining, WC GP40's are brought up north to the rescue...
UP5595 backs his manifest into the main switching yard in El Paso (Alfalfa). He eventually came back out and joined what was left of his train on track one.
This local manifest is headed up by one of several unpatched SP units in the area. He was pulling 35 cars down track one to switch to track three to back into Alfalfa yard for set outs.
UP3794 heads up a variety of power in this manifest that stopped here for refueling and an air test. Power included three UP engines, one NS and one CEFX.
