UP's Marlboro Local on 1/20/12 - photos & video
Author: myoungwisc

Ran into the Marlboro cruising Santa Ana St. today. Caught a few photos and hightailed it down to South Lemon St. to video the wig-wag in action.

First photo shows the classic neon "No Left Turn" sign at South West St. where the line curves off the Interstate 5 bridge and onto street trackage.

Second and third photos show the power leading a decent sized train...even including an unpatched Western Pacific FMC hopper.

And the wig wag...

**This is the first video I've posted online so I'm not sure it is really up to snuff. Any recommendations on editing software and tips on a better presentation are appreciated.

I really like the composition & visual story contained in your 3rd shot! I'm not sure I'll ever warm up to the gensets, but it is a great shot.

The WP Hopper was in Anaheim this afternoon, looks like it will go out tomorrow morning. I stopped on the way home from work to get a picture. I will post if anyone is interested.
