Western Railroad Discussion > UP local on old Placerville branch Rancho Cordova CA

I caught the UP local running around their train at the end of the line near the scrap recyceler so I drove down to Mercantile Rd and took this picture with my IPHONE.
lve lived at the end of the line for almost 5 years now and have seen this job working out here but never took any pictures of them.   Normally its a remote control job but not today
the lead unit going west was a patched Cotton Belt GP60 #1089 and I believe a GP38-2 #1488. They picked up two loaded scrap metal gons and had two empty centerbeams for the trip west.
