Western Railroad Discussion > Yup...They Buried It

Espeeboy posted information on Thursday regarding SP 266 leading the GSDLCT-10 grain empty out of Delhi, CA. By the time it departed Ogden (if not sooner), it was second out behind the UP 7107. On the plus side, it ran incredibly close to the estimated schedule of departure out of Ogden according to the trace. While the photo doesn't illustrate it well, SP 266 was equipped with new number boards in UP Gothic style.

I'm observing the shadows there James . . That's not like you . . : >)
What's to the left of you in that view ?

I shot from the dark side since a UP manager was on the premises. The hoses at left feed a flange oiler near a 35 mph curve.

Trains headed east out of Ogden will have CCS (coded cab signal) equipped units on the point as required.

Did you get an I.D. on that red and gray unit? Thanks?

Sorry, that looked like an RA unit in Railtex colors. What is a bloody nose appeared to me like a red and gray broadside.
