Chasing 8 Engines on the Fast and Short ZLCAI-17!
Author: SouthWestRailCams

This was something rare on the UP Sunset Route.  8 Engines lead a rather short ZLCAI-17 (Premium Intermodal-LATC-Atlanta) along the UP Sunset Route!

UP 7484 East, ZLCAI-17 (Premium Intermodal-LATC-Atlanta)
UP 7484 (GE AC45CCTE), UP 5347 (GE AC45CCTE), UP 7498 (GE AC45CCTE), UP 2616 (GE C45AH), UP 4128 (EMD SD70M), UP 8858 (EMD SD70AH), UP 4897 (EMD SD70M), UP 7619 (GE AC45CCTE).

Times are in the video!  Enjoy!!

Thanks! At one point, the detector caught it at 71MPH.

That last scene looked very dramatic with the lighting at sunset. Thanks for sharing!

Nice one! I like your intro too.
So I learned the other day UP can run a max of 8 in consist. Does anyone know what max RPA is for a UP intermodal?
