Western Railroad Discussion > 1983 on the MNPWC

The WP heritage SD70ACe is leading UP's North Platte to West Colton manifest today. It arrived at Ogden just after 10 for a crew change on the bypass at Riverdale yard.

Edit: It should arrive at North Yard in SLC by about 1:30 p.m. Below are three shots taken this morning along the Weber River at Peterson. I don't know why the 1983 was placed on the point all by it's lonesome. It did make for an Armour yellow-free head end, though. No complaints!

Thanks for the update, will this train go through Roper -Provo or through Tooele?

Thanks for the update, how long should it take to get to West Colton?

Mr. O!

The 1983 departed Ogden at 12:38 p.m. today. The MNPWC trains usually stop at SLC North Yard for a few hours to add & subtract cars. I would think it should head through Tooele Valley mid to late afternoon.

It's estimated to arrive at West Colton on Thursday at 3:51 a.m. The actual arrival time will most likely be later than the current estimate.

Looks like you were in Doug Harrop's neighborhood.

Indeed. I half expected him to drive by while performing his morning errands.

Reporting live in downtown SLC. 1983 has one switch move to make before departing westbound (4:10 pm)

Anybody have an ETA for Lost Wages??? Hoping for early daylight tomorrow!! We have not been getting many heritage units through here this year. Last year we were getting them 3 at a time on a regular basis. It's either feast or famine!!

If this is the MNPWC-09, it's making a big pickup at SLC. Shows departing with 91-9 at 11,740 tons. Into Milford around 2-3 am.

That's it Mike. I counted 100 cars 2x2 DPU. Sounded and looked great on the LA&SL through Lake Point at 7:10 pm.

James,

Did they change the power very much?

Mike,

They added one GE AC4400CTE at North Yard in SLC. They definitely needed it!
