Southbound Auto Train |
Description: |
Here we see UP Train AASEW 23 pulling out of Bernie Siding after meeting a northbound intermodal, and the conductor checking out an "Excessive Movement" defect that an employee detected during a roll-by while leaving the crew change. It turned out to be a false alarm and the conductor was trying to hitch a ride to the front of his train. I heard the scanner signal very strong when he finished the northbound's roll-by and then we passed him on the highway and I saw his radio so we went back and got him and took him to the front of his train. He was pretty grateful since it was about a mile walk, and it was already getting hot this morning. Providing most of the smoke was the last unit in the consist, a leased GP38-2. |

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. This photo was Photo of the Day on Trains.com on 12-11-2004! |

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. |
