UP 2213 South - Council Bluffs, Iowa
Union Pacific threw us a bone yesterday, with two locals utilizing some pretty interesting motive power to lead their trains. The LNB41 Blair Local which typically uses a pair of SD70Ms, has SD60 2213 leading. On most days this job is usually back into Council Bluffs before morning, however on Sunday they ended up tying down at Allen Creek and a new crew was driven up at 9:00 resulting in a daylight run back down to CB. Taking advantage of this uncommon occurrence, Jacob and I decided to nab em splitting the searchlights standing on the Omaha Subdivison in Iowa. The proximity of these signals to the crossing made shooting awkward but we were able to work around it.
