Western Railroad Discussion > morning Z train through Albany,OR

      Caught the northbound Z train by pure luck, which is about the only way I see them these days. Out for a bike ride I ended up
    on the overpass because I didn't want to wait for the P&W to clear Queen Ave. Of note today's switcher is the new blue GP38-2
    2152. There's nothing special about the Z train photo but a couple of things of interest are the giant numbers on one side of the 
    7765's numberboard. The other is to the right you can see where a fire burned most of the embankment clean. There are a bunch
    of now homeless rabbits living there that are going to have to construct a new home. Happy Labor Day.

Looks like the  homeless folk lost control of their fire, be it a campfire or a cigarette butt.  

Jeff,

Haven't run into you in a very long time.  Still riding your bike I see.   Yes, catching any UP move in daylight is a challenge.  Even Amtrak is down one move each way each now.  Take care out there,

Robert

          Thank you Robert, I  think you nailed it on all points lol, about the only day I get out is Sunday morning anymore, just 
        got today off like a lot of folks. If you're ever in Albany around the station on a Sunday morning and see a guy on a red
        bike give me a yell. Happy fanning.
