The last rays of the dying fall sunlight are glinting off the front of this GE AC44CWCTE as it makes some noise headed westbound through Bonner Springs KS this evening. I was just about to give up and go home because I hadn't seen anything in a while.
It's just another garden variety UP piss brick, but at least the scotchlite wings lit up with the sunlight. After weeks of muted sun from fires and other atmospheric BS it was nice to have clear skies and a cool north breeze with low humidity.

UP SD60 2218 & former Rio Grande SD50 in SP paint & some other assorted power await their next assignment in the wrecker track at Boyles Terminal in Tarrant, AL
UP SD60m #2329 leads on this Oakland to Pueblo work train as it heads East in DeBeque Canyon near Akin siding.
Never say there is never a prototype for something, all the line changes through the years at Dry Lake has the siding all jacked up. Too bad the old water tower is gone, not the same here without it....
UP 2752 leads the UP OCS through Rochelle that includes UP's new "Spirit of the Union Pacific" locomotive #1943.
The train will drop the leader in Chicago and continue onto New Jersey with 1943 in the lead, as the 1943 is temporarily equipped with NS cab signals instead of the C&NW ATC cab signals.
The Union-Louisville local is pulling cement loads out of the Ash Grove Cement plant. The factory is nestled in Platte River valley at Louisville, served by this truncated section of the Mopac and by the BNSF via their Creston Sub which runs along the river. It isn't often you see class one railroads running long hood forward with road power.
Shot on the KCT at 9th St. & Hardesty in June 1985. This might of been the SMU train which indicated this train originated on The Southern RY then onto the MP Then to the UP
A salesperson behind one of the stalls inside KL Central selling accessories. Tidying up her looks for customers.
I "love" how the RVP50 "enhances" the skin tones - probably under exposed the shot. I just took reflective meter reading for the shot to avoid losing the moment.

UP ES44AC 8031 leads ZCIBP east over the Kankakee River bridge in Wilmington, IL on the Chilli! Not to be confused with UP's own bridge over this same river a few miles upstream!
How appropriate that this came up on my screen saver this morning (October 27, 2015). Six years ago today, I listened to Elton John's song "Candle In the Wind" and heard him singing about Marilyn Monroe being found in the nude after she died. Hours later, I had a call from my Mother's landlord saying that he found Mama dead in her apartment! Like Marilyn, Mama was nude at the time. Ever since then, I turn the radio off when "Candle In The Wind" comes on. The song brings back too many bad memories.
After numerous delays, traffic, and police activity along the line, Z-LAAH shows up in Elmhurst with CNW heritage unit UP 1995 leading a SD70M and a AC4460CW

Union Pacific Railroad GP40X 955 ( equipped with HT-B trucks ) at Cotter, Arkansas on March 15, 1992, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
Elephants- enormous, intelligent, strong and sociable. A male African elephant can weigh up to 7.5 tons! They have long and flexible noses, large flapping ears, and loose, wrinkly skin.
There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant.
- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly. their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up. African elephants are the largest mammals on land.
- Asian elephants have smaller ears, and one finger at the end of their trunk..
*The African elephant is threatened by habitat loss, illegal hunting for its ivory, and Classified as Vulnerable (A2a ver 3.1 )on the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
**The Asian elephant is Classified as Endangered (A2c ver 3.1) on the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

This couple definitely looks "up-town". On the left we have one of the shaving Ken figures from Mattel. He is wearing a composite outfit of Ken clothing. On the right is a 1990's Mattel Barbie doll whose factory hair has been trimmed and styled into stiff spikes. She is wearing a brilliant yellow coat-dress from the1990's Mattel Shani line of clothing. I trimmed several of the buttons off of the dress to give it a more sleek appearance.

BACKSTORY: Welcome to the dance club Chiron! The dance club is named after Chiron, a character from Ancient Greece. He was a centaur (a creature, half horse and half man). Centaurs had a reputation for being licentious and trouble-making, but not Chiron. The gods gifted him with gentility, civility and worldly wisdom. He brought up Achilles, Jason, and Asclepius all heroes from ancient stories. That being said, what will our club-goers discover about themselves while they party tonight??
Union Pacific Railroad U50 41 at Council Bluffs, Iowa on May 2, 1965, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built around August 1964 ( c/n 35101 ), retired and traded to GE January 1974.
The numbers 1 72 appear in the engineer's side number board, and at the time of this photo, the UP ( and the SP ) were using the number boards to display the train number, not the locomotive number, so perhaps this locomotive last worked the first section of train # 72. The trucks and connecting span bolsters came from retired gas-turbine locomotives.
This locomotive was essentially two U25B's on a common frame. The UP had determined that the maintenance costs were independent of the power output of the locomotive, so the concept was to reduce maintenance costs by using a few large locomotives in place of several smaller locomotives.
