UP 6595

I spotted a CSX SD40-2 running as mid DPU, so we raced ahead

A UP manifest takes of westward with several yellows following, including UP 3551, an SD9043MAC.

The final train of my stay at the station was loaded coal train CP 813. CP 812/CP 813 are daily coal trains between the Columbia Energy Center Powerplant just outside of Portage, WI and UP at Lacrosse, WI. These trains always have 1 UP up front and 1 UP on the back. Just comes to show you that coal still lives as an everyday need with these trains running everyday!

With a 10 MPH due to a problem car midway through the train (Which they would soon set out), K046-02 rumbles west through Woodbourne led by four Union Pacific units, C45ACCTE 7970, C44ACCTE 6595, SD70M 4270 and C45ACCTE 8032.

This UP engine is flagless, but at least there is a flag in the background. This is the second UP engine of four on K053.

7970 built May 2012; 6595 built April 1997; 4270 built November 2000; 8032 built August 2012.

K046 traipses across the High Line at 1922 after a literal day long journey down the Trenton Sub.

Two large GE wide cabs wait with a string of empty tank cars for a crew to roll across the bay onto Galveston Island.

UP 6735. Picture was taken sometime in 2003 ? This location is now fenced off by UP.

3 GE ACs use the fast growing weeds to mask their progress. For a view of this approximate location just about a month ago see: http://france1912.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=719463
