Licorice Express
As the shadows begin to grow long with the day soon coming to a close, Union Pacific's 82 Job has just gotten clearance to proceed over Niles Junction and onto the Oakland Subdivision. Today's train is making an extra run down to American Licorice in Union City after Wednesday's trip was cut short due to a tree down on the tracks as a result of the recent round of storms that hammered the Bay Area. This evening's train only had a short 4 cars to bring down and a pair of GP60's including the UP 1068 leading on the way down. This section of tracks is quite the time capsule with original Western Pacific code line posted up to the right of the train and just behind me is the now unused Shinn Yard, also of WP origin.
