UP 9224 is in long line of stored units at UP Nampa Yard.
One of about 50 dash 8s floating around Hinkle.
An eb coal train with an interesting mix of power stretches across the Mississippi River in a somewhat rare shot as it was impossib’e to shoot photos w/o permission here. If I recall, I was escorted by a TRRA employee that I met at The Great Train Store when I was an employee there.
As a coal train streaks past, this grain train is stopped. Apparently, it went into emergency, as a manager gave the conductor a ride up to the head end after checking out a problem midtrain.
A UP manifest train sits at Muncie. The conductor rode with what seemed to be a manager to check out a defect on a car in the train. I would assume the train went into emergency there.
