Western Railroad Discussion > UP 1995 East, Leading, Heads Up Sunset Route

UP 1995 (leader) + 2 GEs are leading an eastbound intermodal train. Through Beaumont, CA past 5 pm.

Heritageunits.com report of it being in Thermal 3 hours ago is about 60 miles and 40 minutes off - the train is running slower than that.

Happy Chasing!

More than likely not a ILXDU or ILBDU train?

Handful of YRC (Yellow Roadway) short trailers in the middle of the train, but otherwise all 53' domestic boxes, double and single stacked. Dupo bound trains I've seen in the past usually had 40' marine boxes.

I guess UP didn't "PSR" this eastbound. I did see a westbound during the chase which had doublestacks, autoracks, mixed manifest, the kitchen sink.

If I recall the YRC's do tend to be dropped off at Kansas City from that train rarely do they come through Dupo from Yardmster or Crew error meanig they were supposed t o be dropped off but left left on to take to Dupo for no reason, then take them right back to Kansas City on the IDUNP or IDULB but I think you're right because those train do have Prime Pigs that get dropped off at KC as well and since you didn't mention those containers ohh well guess she's off to one of the global yards in Illinois as to my guess. Thanks for your help on this gladly appreciated.

I think it's a ZLAME.

1995 has really racked up miles leading trains this month. It’s been Chicago, SLC, Chicago, LA, Denver?, LA, now on way to Texas all leading.

It is indeed ZLAME-19.

Will it travel on the Sunset Route thru San Antonio or go to FTW?  ETAs?
