Tied Down Northbound Manifest
Title:  Tied Down Northbound Manifest
Description:  This is train QNLCH2 20 (Manifest from North Little Rock, AR to Clearing, IL [Chicago]). It arrived at 00:25 (12:25 A.M.). Since it wasn't sitting in the north end of the yard, we were a little spooked, thinking the trace was messed up, but I spotted the dimmed headlight of this unit in the south end of the yard, near the industrial park. We really came after it for 1 of the Last 3 CNW's was in the consist!

Former Mo-Pac SD40-2c
Title:  Former Mo-Pac SD40-2c
Description:  What a treat! This is a former Mo-Pac SD40-2c, the "c" for coal. A few were built to BN specificatations for MP/UP/BN/D&RGW coal power pool. These were ballasted to up to 417,000 pounds for more tractive effort, had dynamic brakes, and were equipped with a MARS Light like Rio Grande units, and a rotating beacon like BN units. Otherwise they were MP features. It was built as 3219 before more coal service units were built. They were then renumbered into the 6000 series and more non-dynamic brake equipped units were built in the 3200 series. More photos of it as UP: http://www.trainweb.org/screamingeagle/other/j_glenewinkel/UP3903/UP3903.jpg , and as early GATX: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=16920 . Notice it lost its MARS Light when it was painted blue. More info on the SD40-2c's can be found at: http://www.trainweb.org/screamingeagle/loco_2gen_sd40-2c.html .

UP Yard Job Train - CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 The Last 2 CNW Locomotives
Title:  UP Yard Job Train - CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 The Last 2 CNW Locomotives
Description:  Here are the Final Two, CNW 8701 and 8646 and the look great. This is one of the best schemes worn by a Dash-9. I found them switching in UP Belvidere Yard coupled onto a cut of cars after they came in on UP Train ABEBE 02 at 06:19 this morning. I talked to the UP MYO on duty and asked for permission to take a few shots. I ended up with pictures and a Chicago Service Unit Cap.

Eastbound UP Auto Train
Title:  Eastbound UP Auto Train
Description:  Bound for NS Avondale Yard in North Kansas City is UP Train AOKNSR 03 with CNW 8646 on the point coming by West Yard. The lighting and tree colors almost suggest that this is early fall, but it's a cloudy, muggy summer morning, and the foliage color is a testament to the extreme drought conditions.
