Western Railroad Discussion > Heads ups SF Bay Area-Ore trainDate: 01/14/12 11:31 Heads ups SF Bay Area-Ore train Author: donner_dude1 Loaded Ore Train with interesting power just passed n/b at Elk Grove along the Fresno Sub. Lead unit is UP 6272 ex SP AC4400 in good condition with the SP letters on the nose. 2nd unit is a UP 95xx smoking pretty good coming out of the siding.
Should make for some nice pictures from Yolo Causeway westward this afternoon. Posted from Android Date: 01/14/12 14:02 Re: Heads ups SF Bay Area-Ore train Author: rattenne How do you know this train is headed for the Bay Area? Just curious. Thanks.

I think he's counting on some crazy Bay Area foamers to go out of their way to nab that train. :-) Unfortunately, I was at work, so no scarlet and grey leading a train on Donner for me today. |
