Western Railroad Discussion > Another Bite at the UP 2002 AppleDate: 04/18/19 22:50 Another Bite at the UP 2002 Apple Author: TexBob Last Friday night, I missed the action shot of UP 2002 leading a loaded rock train through my neck of the wooods.
I settled for a shot of it, tied down at Eureka. Because it wasn't on the move, I had to dock myself several points. https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,4772370,4773046#msg-4773046 Just as my thoughts were turning to bedtime tonight, I got word that UP 2002 was out of Rosenberg, all of 15 miles west of me, with a loaded rock train. My first reaction was "Crap!". But then I thought "NP, I have my lights ready to go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained." After quickly throwing everything in the car, I made my way to Stafford, near MP 20.25, where literally moments after getting set up, the ROGJV 17 came by at 2251 with its all-star lash-up of UP 2002 / NS 1065 / UP 7786.

GK Date: 04/20/19 09:08 Re: Another Bite at the UP 2002 Apple Author: CPR_4000 That paint job held up amazingly well. Or has it been repainted at some point?

It was either touched up or given a full repaint in Little Rock last year. Date: 04/20/19 10:48 Re: Another Bite at the UP 2002 Apple Author: IC_2024 “All star lash-up”, indeed, TexBob!!
