UP Oil Train Status Check
Author: tronarail

Anyone have a status check on the UP oil train reportedly heading for Bakersfield, CA from Eugene, OR ? Thanks in advance.

Arrived this morning around 0145hrs, I imagine it was interchanged directly to the SJVR. Not sure if it was going out on the Arvin or Sunset branch.

Using the info that it left Eugene early on the 16th that would make it maybe a 24 hour run from Eugene to Bakersfield.

Never saw it in Dunsmuir, could have run early in the morning though. I have seen other unit Oil trains pass through in those wee hours.

Rats! I was going to get some video of the train as it rolled out to the Plains Facility out in S/W Bakersfield (Taft area). Guess I'd better get out there tomorrow and maybe catch it as they get ready to return to Bakersfield.

Checked the UP yard at 9:30pm tonight, didnt see any oil trains, my work is 5 feet from the Sunset branch, so if I see it I will give a heads up here, but so far nothing.
