Western Railroad Discussion > In and around Salt Lake last weekendDate: 02/23/07 16:26 In and around Salt Lake last weekend Author: MrOGDEN Hello TO people!
Caught the SD60 2203 (ex60 ? the first I've seen in new paint) I played around with the lighting near Roper. Then the next on was a Westbound West of Salt Lake the next morning.    Date: 02/23/07 16:36 In and around Salt Lake last weekend Author: MrOGDEN Then while we was talking with a rail inspector, I heard a Eastbound train coming in not thinking of what it was, UP1983 was scheduled to be in Roper the night before around 8 o'clock WRONG! Then we went to look for some' more trains, I noticed this strange cloud.. wtf? So we wondered back into the yards and rostered this ex MP GP38-2. Not the best weekend, but I had a few surprises.
Thanks for looking. MrOGDEN    Date: 02/23/07 17:10 Re: In and around Salt Lake last weekend Author: midwest I show the following SD60s repainted. I'm sure I've missed some that have new paint, as I'm only casually tracking them:
UP 2174 UP 2176 UP 2198 UP 2203 UP 2220 UP 2230 UP 2233 UP 2235 The 2174, 2198 and 2203 have yellow frame stripes.

Forms over mountains when the conditions are favorable. Watching out for this type of could is a big point in pilot training. Jeff
