Western Railroad Discussion > A few photos from the end of May

May 24th I finally thought I have some time to get out and chase some trains but instead a number of schools asked for safety presentations and it seemed like I never get near the tracks. Finishing a OLI presentation I texted a friend who related that the ZLADV was departing Valley Yard. Being near little Chinatown in Clark County Nevada I thought I never catch the train, driving a bit over the limit I attempted to get a shot of it at the I-15 overpass near Dry Lake, but Nevada Highway Patrol stopped and told me to move on, hence I snapped this shot at the Moapa Indian Reservation as it broke off from paralleling I-15 (UP 4996), that ended my chasing for the day.
On the 26 I had a small window in the afternoon and was advised of a meet on the Cima subdivision at Erie of two MWCNP's and a westbound K train so off I went. 2nd photo is UP 8118 MWCNP 24, tied down at Erie with communication problems between the head end and rear DPU's, behind UP 8118 was a pair of KCS locomotives but the photos didn't turn out. Next up Photo #3 is MWCNP 25 passing UP 8118 at Erie. More to come

Thanks for posting! Interesting info about St. George.

I visit Las Vegas about once a year, splitting time between scenic drive/hiking and foaming, so it's good to see a local posting a report. That curve at Erie is a neat location.

Very Nice Series!
