Western Railroad Discussion > UP 1983 WP Heritage in Roseville

Caught this yesterday at the depot with my phone. Came in from the East shortly after a MOW string of trucks, tie handlers, tampers, regulators or what ever they're called. It went right back East. Lots to repair, I imagine, after the hard winter.

Haven't seen that engine in a long time!

There have been piles of concrete ties along the ROW in various spots for a while now. I presume this was probably planned maintenance and upgrades, but unplanned repairs would be likely as well after this winter.

I know from being up there quite a bit this past winter that the defect detectors became useless. They were reporting "integrity defects" on detectors from Truckee to Emigrant Gap or beyond, iirc. (I was hearing them on the scanner on different detectors.) I don't know if this just was from snow obscuring sensors, or if they were actually damaged.

It actually picked up the MOW equipment in Millersburg Oregon on Monday.
