Nostalgia & History > RG 5327 on the UPDate: 05/23/17 16:32 RG 5327 on the UP Author: callum_out September 1986 shot of Rio Grande SD-45 5327 on the point of a UP manifest South of some
city in Nevada with big buildings. After seeing so many RG units in coal consists, seeing one on the point of a UP manifest was a bit different. Out  Date: 05/23/17 17:05 Re: RG 5327 on the UP Author: wigwag Big buildings? Definitely looks like Reno!
Love that Leslie S5 horn. I caught 3 DRGW SD45s on the ATSF 858-Z1 one day in Fullerton in Sept, 1980 and made a beautiful audio recording of the lead unit #5327 blowing that horn at the Raymond Crossing! Good times.

a gon load of MOW materials, interesting local. Out  Date: 05/24/17 04:19 Re: RG 5327 on the UP Author: SPDRGWfan Was the Kaiser coal train still running then? If so, the UP may have been using that RG SD45 in between coal runs as I hear was their practice. That RG SD45 road number was from the Kaiser pool set (5326,27,28,36,37,38).
