Western Railroad Discussion > UP's Mead Lake LocalDate: 06/27/04 10:38 UP's Mead Lake Local Author: RustedFlange UP's Mead Lake Local LJM45 trundles down the branch at Logandale NV with 53 cars, 48 of them empties for the Simplot silica sand plant at the end of the line. This local runs Mon-Fri, on duty at Arrolime north of Las Vegas though I am not sure if they work the branch every day.

Yes, Overton is just north of the end of the line at Mead Lake.

I got lucky and bagged the northbound train approaching the main line junction while on a road trip three years ago.
