Nostalgia & History > UP Freight Westbound, Arnold Loop, Nev.5-16-1991 just after SteamDate: 10/14/17 04:11 UP Freight Westbound, Arnold Loop, Nev.5-16-1991 just after Steam Author: RailRat After filming UP 844+3985 up here Eastbound, I hung around and caught this Westbound freight, heading compass North and South at the same time, while rounding the loop! Might as well have hung around, since access to this spot is way off the beaten path, and takes quite a bumpy while to get back to the interstate. Engineer's first horn is for the maintenance/access road xing, but not sure if his 2nd set of honks are for me, a RR maintenance man, or other railfans that were up here this day. Camera position is Northwest side of loop, panning Southeast towards Wendover, and Northeast towards Mt.Pilot/Peak. Thanks for Viewing!

Back in the days when the ex-WP was actually seeing some train traffic, compared to how things are nowadays on that line. Date: 10/14/17 14:02 Re: UP Freight Westbound, Arnold Loop, Nev.5-16-1991 just after S Author: RailRat SPSF Wrote:

Thanks, and have a few more videos, from a few trips up here, and many other locations. Currently processing them for posting as time allows.

Remote and desolate country to be sure.
