UP train YFX82-12 with a "baby wings" SD40N up front is switching industries on the Omaha Main on the UP KC Metro Sub in Kansas City, MO. 12/12/15.
not happy with the processing results... will probably edit in the future... not sure...
an hour after first posting: I have decided to change the title and idea a bit from what I was first going for. At first, I called it "in HIS hands" but I couldn't get past the fact that, technically, in this picture, I was actually sitting in my OWN hand.. and so that just didn't work together. so now, it's more of a self-offering......
letting go of my plans and priorities and own formed ideas, even though i like to think i'm right about everything and know the best.... it's been proven to me that i DON'T! ....
God, here i am. take me and my life.
This is what happens when you get greedy and try to push a shot despite having the best intel that you can get. I wanted to setup further back on the curve and shoot this eastbound SD70AH-T4 looking down the tracks with the elevator in the background. That shot didn't happen because as I was climbing the embankment...he was blowing for the crossing at Midland so I had to settle for a hand grab shot as it rounded the curve.
Should have stayed at Alexander or went to the depot.

right next to the old house there is a tree with an old tree house. the boys wanted to play up there but they are just too little yet. maybe someday...
the tree house was build by our neighbour's kids. they are already grown up. the place they used to play at became abandoned just like the old house.
It’s not nice to shoot up a lady’s skirt, I venture a guess it’s a criminal offence in most quarters, but we’re going here for the 3 inches of the bottom of her feet. It’s a signed wooden doll by Canadian folk artist Jean Marc Poirier, carved when he lived and worked as a fisherman in Cheticamp, Cape Breton, in the 1990’s. In the early oughts he returned to his birthplace in the Magdalen Islands and might still be carving there. My wife bought this doll, a fine example in a series of “bag ladies”, at a gallery in Baddeck, Cape Breton, for the tidy sum of C$69.95 in the late 90’s. The doll is reminiscent of the character of Mary Morrison (“Good, dear, good”) created and played by comedic actress Bette MacDonald in the Cape Breton Summertime Revue in the 1990’s. Though I don’t know the artist’s intentions, the doll might even have been inspired by the Mary character. All these wonderful memories dredged up in the rise and follies of Cape Breton Island by the simple “Bottoms Up” assignment for a Happy Macro Monday. -:))
On Thursday, December 6th, Union Pacific participated in the state funeral of President George H.W. Bush by operating a train which would carry him and his family members from Spring, Texas to the burial site at his Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. UP 4141, a locomotive which had been painted in his honor for a railroad exhibit at his Library and Museum in 2005, was called out of storage to lead his final train ride.
After following the train on TV on Thursday during the funeral procession, it was quite an honor to see it in person two days later as the train made its final leg back into Omaha/Council Bluffs.
A delay with recrewing the train ahead of them had delayed the 4141 just long enough to get into the golden hour light; even getting a hint of low winter light on the nose on this north-south railroad.
UP 4281 leads a 662 axel monster freight from North Platte, Nebraska with some nice power at Washington, Missouri.

Relatively clean UP 6644 rolls up to a stop at the signal at Loring as it leads a short train of company material cars. These repainted AC4400CW's look pretty good.

UP 6324 hauls a load of dinosaur chips eastbound while passing a tied down stack train over on Main 2 shortly after sunrise this morning on the UP Kansas Sub near MP 24.25.
Not sure why the crew left all the lights on the tied down train but I'll take it. I just wish all of them looked like the one on the right.
UP 9913 is leading the Rocklin Rocket out of its namesake town, heading for more work on the Valley Sub at Sunset-Whitney.
A delay getting through the Omaha/Council Bluffs terminal allowed the afternoon sun to swing around ever so slightly on the nose as these two fresh GEVO's on their first revenue trip. Here they are hugging the Loess Hills at North Council Bluffs.
Originally built as SP 9763 in 1991, this GP60 became UP 2062 in the early 2000's. In late 2018 it got a new coat of paint and a new number, becoming UP 1171.
Here, this well-traveled Geep lays over at the former MKT Eureka Yard in Houston after bringing in a transfer from UP's Englewood Yard.
