I was cleaning out the truck today getting ready to go get some gas [:(] [:(!] and heard a train honking for a crossing. So I decided to hurry up and go see it, plus I had intended to take the dog as Duchess loves to go for a ride and is stuck in the house most of the time. I grabbed her leash and she got so excited about going for a ride I couldn't catch her. I finally was able to leash her, grabbed the notebook and pen and off we go. Well it was already past several of my "spots" and gaining speed as it was leaving town. The speed limit was 40 along a stretch of city hiway which is more country than city. Many trees between the right of way and the road kept blocking my view plus it also had a good head start on me. I finally got catch up to the power but had a hard time seeing the numbers for he trees. When I finally got to see enough of them to get the numbers this is what I found. UP 6306, still in SP paint but with a UP number patch. UP 4697 was the second unit. ONe thing I noticed was the number of cars with graffiti on them--there were a lot. I also saw a boxcar with SLGG 10217 on it and a CN boxcar number 414665 (I think). There were a variety of A & M cars (one numbered 960) , CNW, SP, ARM (or whatever the UP Fruit Express cars are lettered) and lots of other stuff too. <br />
