Western Railroad Discussion > UP southbound's at Blunt, CaliforniaDate: 03/19/15 15:06 UP southbound's at Blunt, California Author: locogimp Here are two more images that I took on Saturday, the 14th, where I spent the afternoon in and around the Blunt siding area where everything is bright green for the time being. Since this is a free range area a small herd of cattle roamed through the area grazing on the rather meager foliage.
The first train is a southbound unit steel train that is slowly approaching the north end of the siding where it will get stabbed for a couple of northbounds. The second train was a drag that came through a few hours later which was also put in the siding for a couple of meets. Jan Austin Chico, CA J.G.

I assumed the siding is usually stuffed with wellcars and too short for most trains. i have to get up to that neck of the woods, the grass aint gettin' greener!

Now if only they were an additional 300 miles farther apart..... Date: 03/20/15 06:31 Re: UP southbound's at Blunt, California Author: Out_Of_Service portlander Wrote:
