A trio of GE's haul 75 loads of coke out of Roberts on a dreary evening. Of note, C41-8W #9450 is second out in the consist. UP 9450, along with many other Dash 8's on the UP roster, was sold back to GE recently. It's safe to say that this could have been her last trip as a UP unit.

On May 10, 1869 a special ceremony took place in Promontory, Utah, USA where two railroads met that completed a track that went from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific ocean on the west. A span of approximately 3000 miles. This engine is an exact full size and fully functioning duplicate of one of the engines that met on that occasion. Today it was again going to the same location, approximately 200 yards from where this photo was taken as it passed by.

I think I managed to capture her gaze here. (Yes, boys, she has eyes -- just raise yours a bit and you'll see.)

I'm always looking up trees as I pass them. This Scots pine was just begging for this photo.
No, I'm not dead yet...
A quickie to test out the motor I got from the Wild-Wind ups Inventor Set. The motor connects to the tracks via a bevel gear and is wound up from the back. Complete with meat-seeking missile.

I love this pick and could have done so much with it but as I spent most of the day in the garden with E I had to take a quick shot outside. My fiddy failed me today - the bokeh just wasn't happening and I got far better shots from my P&S.
I love astrantias - such intricate flowers - and they like my heavy clay soil so I have loads.
A UP SD70ACe leads the ZLTLC uphill at Sandcut at the foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains. This was a relatively long train followed by a second section. Interestingly no DPU in the middle or end.

Union Pacific Railroad DC-3 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in March 1962, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This appears to be the second permutation of the DC-3 on the UP. It started out as a gas-electric built in 1928 by the J. G. Brill Company on Order 22749 as D&M 201. It was a Model 350 powered by a Hall-Scott 300 horsepower gasoline engine driving GE electrical gear. It seated 38 passengers and weighed 58 tons. In 1952 it was sold to Teledetector Company of Chicago and converted to a rail defect detector car. However, the company did not survive and sold the detector car to the UP in April 1954. It became DC-3 and still had the as-built Brill front. It was rebuilt in 1961, acquiring the brow over the front windows as seen here, and rebuilt again around 1983, acquiring yet another front end arrangement. Note that in this arrangement, the Brill passenger windows were retained, to be replaced at a later date.
