Description:  It's not too often when I don't head up here and chase the Weyerhaeuser Woods train around, but this time, I didn't. Equallym it's arare I post photos of CLC (because I'm chasing WTCX) and NOT WTCX, but I'm not happy with the WTCX photos, so I didn't post them.

UP 556 North
Title:  UP 556 North
Description:  One of UP's GP38-2s leads the local with a B40-8, another GP38-2 and a GP40-2. This is one of the shots that the camera, due to all it's rediculous lag times after I hat various buttons, that have irritated me to the point of discontinuing it's use in high-speed railfanning situations. Thank goodness for the video camera!!!!

UP 2002 North
Title:  UP 2002 North
Description:  This one pretty much sealed the deal on not using my point and shoot anymore. The fact it didn't stop the action on the 2002, just irritates me to no end. I'm better than this. That second unit, the 3978, has to be a one-on-a-kind SD70M too, look how it's painted. Way to close to the D&H lightning stripe!
