Coaster train 639 roars up grade behind an F40 as it nears the summit of Miramar Hill. This side of Miramar has a ruling grade of 2.0%.
Welcome to red rock country!
Union Pacific 4730 & Ferromex 4077 form the motive power of train LDG-451-B; the sundays only Potash Local on the Cane Creek Sub.
Een stukje voorbij Moab, aan de Colorado river, staat een mijn, waar Potash gedolven wordt; een zoutachtige substantie die veel in kunstmest gebruikt wordt.
De Potash mijn wordt normaal gesproken enkel op zondagen bediend. Op andere dagen wordt de spoorlijn bij Moab namelijk geblokkeerd doordat op de lijn vrijwel de gehele dag een containertrein staat. Die trein vervoert een belangrijker goedje; namelijk met uranium verontreinigde grond en heeft derhalve voorrang. Maar goed nieuws voor de liefhebber; aangezien zondag de enige mogelijke rijdag is van de Potash local, is de kans groot de trein ook daadwerkelijk te treffen.
Na echter ruime tijd gewacht te hebben in de Bootlegger Canyon moest ik op een gegeven ogenblik opgeven; het begon serieus te regenen én ik kreeg honger. De trein was dan ook al serieus een paar uur te laat. Terug bij de auto...u raadt het al...passeerde hij echter alsnog.
Gelukkig is de snelheid op het traject naast de Colorado River erg laag; een mijl of 10 per uur, harder zal het niet gaan. De trein is dan ook snel ingehaald.
Een eerste fatsoenlijke foto toont de Union Pacific 4730 (EMD SD70M) en Ferromex 4077 (EMD SD70Ace) met hun trein LDG-451-B van Grand Junction naar Potash naast een gruwelijk groot rotsblok.
Al had ik een paartje GP40-2's verwacht...ik was al erg blij dat de trein toch kwam opdagen!

'If you don't like the weather in Wyoming, just wait 15 minutes, it will change.'
A perfectly sunny morning on Sherman Hill by high noon was anything but, invaded by a thick cloud bank as yet another thunderstorm moved over Wyoming. After 20 minutes of heavy rain the clouds parted allowing the sun to illuminate a westbound shooter, hustling up main 2 just west of Buford.

Now on the final stages of the second trip into Omaha of the year, 4014 eases north along the Missouri riverfront towards parking for the next couple days.

Back in April 1987 I went on a bus hunting adventure which included a visit to Warrington where I photographed Crosville Bristol VRTs lined up in the Crosville depot.
Shame I didn't pay more attention to Bristol LD6G trainer G881 838AFM parked nearby.
Following running repairs in the workshops at Rheine depot, oil-fired Class '043' 2-10-0 No.043 381-3 is lit up and its burners are in operation in order to bring up steam pressure, ready for it to work out its last days in DB service. Despite its poor external appearance here on 3rd September 1977, the 1941-built 'Jumbo' was not only to work until the end of steam on the Emsland line at the end of October 1977, but also survived the cutter's torch, and is today on display at the Bavarian Railway Museum in Nördlingen as 44 381.

...is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.
