Tier 4 C45AH's aren't common on the UP except on the west coast where they are generally stuck, so when I saw a couple en route I figured I better get em.
I was planning on shooting this guy at Ames, NE passing the old tin-sheathed wooden elevator, but alas, upon arrival all that remains is some broken up concrete from the foundation. Darn it. I had time to head over to Schuyler to shoot it at some of the more formidable 'vaders in that town. The lesson, as always, shoot that stuff while you can.
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.

Uncle Pete lends several helping hands as NS train #371 grinds up and over Braswell Mountain in northwest Georgia.
UP 7947 is captured in evening light running westbound on the normally eastbound main 2, making it's way around the horseshoe curve at Irene.

UP 1995 West passing the iconic flag barn with a manifest train in tow. This one will be well covered by the local crowd.

Weaving along the north bank of the Weber River, just east of Devil's Slide, an eastbound Union Pacific stack train swims 'up stream' with the Western Pacific heritage locomotive on the point.

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!
The previous shot was but a nice test shot for the real prize on this hundred degree afternoon....
After a roundabout two week tour of the eastern portion of the Union Pacific, an engineering special is less than 10 miles from home base at Heritage Park in Council Bluffs.
New Tier 4 EMD SD70AH #3032 likely came back with around 6000 miles of light-duty break-in mileage.

A fresh repaint AC44 slow-rolls MEWOL 11 through Brownie siding, branching off BNSF's Galveston Sub at Algoa. The train will enter UP's Angleton Sub once it rejoins the main just ahead, for the run into South Texas.
UP 8084 (ES44AH) storms toward the setting sun near the crossing at 7600 W. This is the KG1CI which will terminate in City of Industry, CA.
Sunny morning at a reflecting pool in Currumbin Creek about half way up Currumbin Valley. The creek is sometimes placid, other times a raging torrent as the bar of rocks at a swirl points suggests. It runs all year draining from the Springbrook Plateau near the two Cougals.
A lone UP U50C sits in the old Barstow East Yard narrows, which affords us this great top down roster shot of the unique beast.

MCHNP cut away and made a succesful run across the Blair while 4014 followed close behind ready to assist again if needed. Here east of Kennard 4014 works up to speed.
Yesterday Sam and I spent some time along the UP Blair Sub. I've been screwed by UP enough to know not to go in blind, and the tracking software worked wonders yesterday. We ended up never having to wait more than a few minutes for each train.
Some of the old timers might not be able to place this shot because this track didn't exist until late last year.
This is the MNSNPX at Arlington.
A drive to Cheyenne along the UP main mostly follows US30 but in this case were driving along UP 385 west of Julesburg CO for a short stretch where we bagged train LANP meeting a westbound (possibly the NPDEZ) near Chappel NE in this coming and going view.

Ending the historic 2019 steam season on a snowy high-note Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 works its train upgrade through the Terry Bison Ranch on the Greeley 'main' from Denver on the final leg of its tour of the southwest. Shortly Big Boy will top the grade at Speer, junction with the Overland Route, upon which 4014 will only have a few last downhill miles to its home base in Cheyenne.

UP 1943 leads its train into Proviso Yard, with a UP 6576 and KCS 4785 trailing. The light power sitting under the signal bridge was only seconds away from blocking this view of the 1943 as it was flying towards proviso.
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.
