Warm morning light covers UP 7019 working at track speed out of the sag between Mohawk and Stoval Az. The sanitization of the Gila Subdivision continues with the loss of H2 Searchlights and now with the removal of the classic code line poles which use to line the right of way on the left side of this image. Progress is not a very photogenic thing.

An eastbound intermodal train departs Portland after a crew change.

the hummer looking sweet - before the intruder showed up.

On May 4th, 2019 the Overland Route witnessed the return of a Big Boy, under steam, for the first time in six decades, as UP 4014 double headed to Ogden, Utah with UP 844. Here the Alco duo thread the cut at Pine Ridge, east of Rock River, en route to the 150th anniversary celebration of the Transcontinental Railroad's completion.

I had to revisit my Bushy Park file before I fill it up again with the rut which isn’t far off.

This Red Winged Black Bird was sitting on the seeds and wouldn't let any other birds come near it. As is typical it puffed itself up and it was very effective!

I didn't know that Kenny Rogers was a conductor for the UP, but you can clearly see his doppelgänger in the left hand chair of this EMD SD70AH-T4 as it rolls east on the UP Kansas Sub just after sunrise this AM.

 

It was a Tier IV morning around these parts. Shot 2 EMD Tier IV's on back to back trains.

When I first moved here to the Pacific Northwest, I met this old man that would always look up with his hands outstretched. He would say, "Isn't it wonderful". Back then, I didn't really get the message. As I have lived here longer, I have come to appreciate the beauty in the sky, especially the morning and the evenings! :)

 

In a few days I will be traveling down to Southern Utah and Arizona. I am looking forward to photographing the great Southwest. It will be a very big change from the Pacific Northwest. Can't wait for the challenge! :)

 

I will be away from flickr for awhile, but I will catch up with your photo streams when I get back. :)

After swapping crews the Z starts to head south for CB though it wouldn't make much progress stopping to allow a MAXX train to head north which would take 90 or so minutes to clear.

I'm not a salmon but I swim up the stream of faceless metropolitan crowds everyday...

          

*** The first two days at school were super crazy and busy! I feel as if I were the fish in the image. Though I'll be still uploading pics here and there, I will be doing little commenting as the new school year has officially started yesterday. So, please feel free not to comment on the photos.

 

Thank you very much for your visits or comments in advance.

Peacocks are known for their beautiful array of color however the flip side often goes unappreciated.

Threading the Humboldt River in remote Palisade Canyon eastbound grain empties ride former Western Pacific iron en route to a crew change in Elko, Nevada. Coming in second place to lay rail through the Canyon WP shared the limited space along the Humboldt with the Southern Pacific, pairing their trackage to create a stretch of double track railroad (eastbounds on the WP and westbounds on the SP). Today the trackage through Palisade serves in the same capacity now under the sole ownership of the Union Pacific.

This is the companion shot to the Out of the Storm image. Taken just twenty minutes later. The thunderstorm cell to the left was competing with another storm behind me to see who could drop the most rain in the Shawnut area. It ended in a draw.

Union Pacific SD70Ace 1983 North is passing the Pierce County Ferry Dock. The Ferries serve Anderson & Ketron Islands. The Western Pacific Colors as part of Union Pacific Heritage Fleet stand out on a late afternoon with a northbound train on the BNSF Seattle Subdivision trackage rights that Union Pacific has between Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington. In the bottom foreground of the Photo is the Old Northern Pacific Depot adding its own history to this composition.

UP 9034 (SD70AH) has just moved the ZDVSC-08 from Main 1 to Main 2 in preparation for the final approach to LM Bryan. The lead unit is shiny new Tier IV credit unit delivered to the UP earlier this year.

Amtrak 40 brings the California Zephyr to speed, after a 42 mile long trek full of sharp turns and steep grades through the tight canyons of the Colorado River Valley. On this part of the Dotsero cutoff, the Colorado floodplain expands enough to allow the railroad to have faster turns, and allow the Zephyr to fly.

UP was kind enough to put the clean one on the point of this mostly domestic intermodal train as it passes Krieder Road on the UP Kansas Sub. It was all of 0 degrees when the bird went in the air, but it was much warmer in my pickup truck!

Taken when visiting Loch Lomond with our Canadian friends a few weeks ago ... just wanted to remind myself that we do have nice weather now and again!
