UP 9434

TOFC ramp

An interesting UP lashup with a "We will deliver" Dash-8, a shiny Dash-8, and a highly numbered SD70M.

Even though a sb could stop and do a simple car swap, UP takes all cars for RVSC and Harlingen an additional 20 miles to UP's Olmito yard. They are blocked and go back to Harlingen in a seperate run. Oh they're still running steam engine style so this yard transfer ran 20 mph the entire distance. When UP finished they tied these units down on the UP side of Harlingen yard.

A Dash 8-41CW that has seen its better days.

A damaged UP 9434 sits at UP's Settegast Yard. Not sure what happened to it.

UP Armourdale Yard Engine Facility. I'm sure there were some equally bad looking Rock Island GE's stored here 30 years ago today. UP 9434 just seemed appropriate.
