Recently refurbished UP #7036, now classified as a C44ACM leads Westbound loaded coal train CWELB9-24 just West of Westwater, UT.
The clean face of UP C44ACM 7105 splits the searchlight installation at the west end of Sand Pass as the leading GE duo bring their charge over the summit, leading it away from the vast Smoke Creek Desert which provides the background. Leaving Sand Pass the scenery will begin to change as the WP heads for its crossing of the Sierra in Northern California.

The current here isn't too fast so this area seems to be the first place where ice forms on the river. I am looking upriver. You can't see it but there is a big reservoir dam about 1/2-mile up stream.
Sunrise in Cheyenne greets a busy scene at Tower A. Leaving off P2 the westbound ZG2LT crosses to 3-track for the climb over Sherman Hill. In the background a westbound 'devil' (MNPTGS) holds P1 as the MNYNP heads into the yard via the 'old way'.

After shooting 2 trains with clean foreign leaders it was time to pay the piper and get a filthy piss brick to remind me that I'm still shooting over on the UP.
UP train P-CBHN-07 rolls westbound along the UP Kansas Sub near Grantville, KS earlier this evening.
The old saying goes drive until you have sun or trains. Well...I kept driving west until I got out from underneath the cloud bank that was slowly moving east and ended up at MP 59.8 when the sun was finally out.
Here is the shot from the bird at the same location.
50 003 Temeraire sweeps past the abutments of the former MSWJR overbridge at Wolfhall with the Up Summer Saturday only 1A61 11:35 Newquay - Paddington
invert it... and you get .... dn...
This is something i find very peculiar about architectural graphics... I interpret my drawings my way...
mere ramblings...
A reasonably clean UP U30C leads a set of Frisco power westbound for North Platte at Edwardsville, KS on a hot Sept 3, 1978.
For those of you that like incorporating the code line, here's a nice close view. This was the first and last time I climbed a pole for the shot. Too hard to hang on and shoot at the same time...
UP 1979 East at the sewer plant in Bonner Springs KS on the UP Kansas Sub.
I've heard this thing called the 'Wokomotive' and that nickname seems to fit.
The winds scattered my leaves
but my roots remained firm.
They tried to wound me but I
grew stronger in broken places.
I wondered if I would survive
but then I saw a sparkle...
My tiara was a little tangled
perhaps but it never fell
off after all.
I hadn't been up north for a long time. I know I'm there when I hear the stirring call of the Common Loon echoing across the lake.
As we moved slowly around the lake on the pontoon, I knew I needed more lens and the bouncing of the boat made the shots more difficult. This was at sunset and is cropped quite a bit.
Drifting westbound alongside the meandering Humboldt, Union Pacific's 'paired track' local heads towards Battle Mountain behind a pair of NLR SD40Ns. The train is on the old SP (CP) mainline between Tyrol and the east end of Palisade Canyon.

Up or down?,
which way do we go.
Traveling in time and
sometimes space.
How do you want to
leave this place?
Make a decision,
its time to go.
This is the name of an empty house across the street from the Soul Vibrations club I was hanging out at.
With 43368 and 43380 bringing up the rear of 6Q77 Wembley to Walton Old Junction conveying a trio of MerseyRail units 66503 descends towards Rugeley Trent Valley with 4L92 Ditton to Felixstowe.
I've shot on the Blair a few times but never on Arlington Hill. Paul being the chauffeur led us to this spot, where a short hike into the field awards you with a beautiful view in the afternoon light. Sam broke off here and Paul, Ryan and I booked it west to catch him one more time coming under 275 into Fremont before we headed home for the day.
Thanks for showing me this spot, Paul. Might have to get out here again soon.
UP SD70AH 9074 leads a manifest westbound on the Blair Subdivision outside Arlington, Nebraska, March 10, 2024.

Climb up to the expensive balcony seats and pass the opera glasses. For reservations, call CArnegie 7-7777.
With just a few minutes of daylight left to spare, UP 8410 passes my favorite landmark on the UP Kansas Sub this evening. I didn't think this one was going to get here in time, but I was going to wait for it anyway.
Check out how long the shadows are coming off the train as it heads west into the sunset.
CP train 486 was shrugging off a winter chill at Rondout behind a trio of SD40-2s.
At the time, a scene like this was a daily occurance, but wasn't taken for granted as the writing was on the wall.
Today, it's all devolved to a General Electric show around here.
After holding at the intermediate signal in the background UP 7514 an ES44AC gets this long manifest train rolling into the sunrise at MP 24.25 on the UP Kansas Sub. Sharp eye will see the frost covered ties and ballast in the 14 degree temperature of that morning.
The 40-car train easily fits in to one shot from one of the many bridges on the West side of Creston.

Several shots blended - watching a spider crawl up the web under the Queen Anne's Lace flower. I think it's a sac spider.
