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.
CN 327 has 30 intermodal platforms up front as it approaches Dorval with CN 2224 & IC 2724 for power.

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.
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.
UP 4014 slows as it approaches a ranch crossing east of Morgan, UT. Stalled freight traffic saw the special hot on the heels of a stack train all the way into Ogden, UT.

Climb up to the expensive balcony seats and pass the opera glasses. For reservations, call CArnegie 7-7777.
Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne.Guilfoyle’s Volcano was built in 1876 and was used to store water for Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. After lying idle for 60 years, it is now restored as part of a significant landscape development project called Working Wetlands. .
This spectacular and historic water reservoir has commanding views of the city, and its striking landscape design showcases low-water use plants.
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.
The classic BLE tunnel motors are seen doing the helper honors up Byron hill on the CN. Manned helpers and cool power on a class 1 is a great combination
Several shots blended - watching a spider crawl up the web under the Queen Anne's Lace flower. I think it's a sac spider.

UP 9082 West leads a stack train around the the corner at MP 26.5 on the UP Kansas Sub. I think I did a very good job of hiding the hideous GE that was second out in the consist in this view.

Tehachapi!
With a trio of Union Pacific motors up front the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey 'blue unit' train drifts through the many curves approaching the end of double mains at Cable on California's Tehachapi Pass. On this toasty July afternoon the circus train was being escorted between shows in Phoenix, Arizona and Fresno, California.

This train made great progress. I saw this train in the pre-dawn hours on my way to the office at MP 11.3 and by the time that I was coming home that afternoon it had made it all the way to MP 20. That's velocity. Moving at about an average of 1MPH.
You may have seen a similar image to this posted yesterday as the Grumpster was standing right next to me as this train was making up time rolling east on the UP Kansas Sub after hitting a slow order near Turkey Creek.
Grumpy already posted his fine shot of this same train taken at Alexander and this is the view from roughly MP 26.5 as the train was scooping a dead train parked at MP 24.5 on Main 1 just ahead.
With trains tied down on M1 at 24.5, the siding at Linwood and one parked at Loring, there really weren't a lot of good photo spots to get images yesterday morning.
