Enjoyed the first train with EMD on the point with a good sounding horn and glad to see you got a friendly wave from the third train.

Yeah that Horn was different for sure.. I like seeing the EMD SD70AH leading at the crossings. Can't wait to see one of those EMD Tier4s.

Date: 05/21/17 07:37 Re: UP's Sunset Route Coverage - 04/09/2017 (Pics/Videos) Author: SCKP187 Wow, really nice ones today. The Englewood train had nice blocks of cars in it the way it was built--looks nice to see those solid block of boxcars in a manifest nowdays.
Hadn't seen this type of aerowedge before as in the 3rd train, just the frame-type. Nice to get responses from the crew like that. They were not pulling as fast as we normally see so I'm guessing they might have been on a yellow block. All very nice and interesting.

I believe that is the new design of the Aerowedge that started on some additional trains (besides the CIG4). The train crew was given the "Okay to Proceed" pass the Red Signal at the Control Point in the video. Signal would not drop due to the MOW crew on Track 1.
