Do any of you guys remember this photo from about 15 years ago? It was taken at Ferrum, California, about 25 miles east of Indo on the Sunset Route. It was coined "Union Pacific Officers’ Special."

This is the Salt Creek Bridge, about 1/2 mile east of where this Officers’ Special photo was taken. As of November 2013, the bridge still reads “Southern Pacific.” UP has added double track (2-MT), so there’s a new bridge on the other side now.

Strange, this equipment appears to be identical to the equipment I had the Chief Dispatcher call to deadhead TE&Y employees. The majority of them required ,nourishment, purging, cleaning and retraining ever four to five hours by union agreement.

I put it on the Web years ago and “Snakebites” used it. No big deal. I made it Public Domain back then.

BTW ... What ever happened to the Los Angeles Trash Trains that were going to run up to Eagle Mt. from Ferrum?

You are entirely right. My Management acquaintances said I should eliminate the phrase "majority of them" and "retraining" do not apply as they are untrainable like "Weed Weasels" are.
