Switch Assignment |
| Description: |
After a quick chat with one of the brakemen, the locomotives were off to the yard office for about an hour's rest before resuming switching. I took this speed blurred shot with the flash. The floodlight tower was lit up just right, along with some increasingly thick fog, it just made a really nice combo for a good photograph.

| Title: |
Yard Derailment |
| Description: |
Here's the scene and how it happened. The three locomotives (SSW 9647, UP 177, and UP 2537) ran across a switch in the yard, where the switch frog joins the rail of the track, the old rotten tie fell through, it broke in half, the frog fell through the tie and the rail broke out of it, coming up and knocking the brake shoe connecting rod loose from the rear axle on the fireaman's side of SSW 9647, and the rear axle jumped on top of the rail head. The rear axle was was knocked back over into the gage as I arrived. These two men drove up with the area wheel truck were at work repairing the brake rigging as the truck in the background unloads a new section of rail, a frog, and a few ties. |
