National Train Day 2025, Part 4
The last is best of all the game?
My fourth and final train movement on May 10th was Union Pacific's Roseville, California to North Platte, Nebraska "mega" manifest at Echo, Utah.
It really was a doozy. The MRVNP 09 had 257 cars, 33 loads, 224 empties, 11,999 tons, and was 15,987 feet long, 2x2x0 DPU. It was the longest freight train I've ever witnessed.
Leading the train was UP 9655, a recent graduate of Wabtec's C44ACM rebuild program. The locomotive was built new as Southern Pacific C44-9W No. 8191 by GE in December 1994.
