Under Moonlight
On a beautiful summer night the second section of Union Pacific's daily MRVWC blasts southward over Grant Line Road, in Elk Grove, CA. This train will travel nearly 500 miles in the next 12 hours making numerous stops along the way. This train is what's called a "hauler", a train that moves vital loads and empty cars from one major point to another. In this case, Roseville to West Colton (San Bernardino) via the San Joaquin Valley and Tehachapi mountains. This photograph marks the end of a beautiful day with my best friend Patrick "SP8254" Dirden , as him and I celebrated a personal feat of capturing 29 different trains in less than 15 hours on what is a normally a rather quiet subdivision.
How are him and I going to celebrate? By doing it all over again. This coming Saturday (July 31st, 2010) we're going to head back down to the SJ Valley and do it all over again.
