UP re-route through Sumner, WA.
Author: lamta_jay

Not sure but is UP doing any re-routes over Stampede ?

Today at about 3:30pm or so UP 8349 North went through Sumner
on track #1 while I was working the platform, all grey covered hoppers.

Anybody know ?

Thanks

How about UP 3849? It's leading an empty grain Portland to Vancouver BC, Thornton Yard. I thinks it's the more-or-less typical UP/CN train that runs from Canada to California and back...not a detour.

What I saw was UP 8349 being a SD70ACe.

One thing I did notice was the lack of DP's
just two motors up front.

I have seen UP grainers while working the
platform in Tukwila but they were on the UP
side not the BNSF side.
