unfortunately, i missed out on pictures of the UP train. it had (i think) 5 locomotives and it was pulling mostly APL containers. i did notice that they had stacks of ties out along the UP line between Tucumcari and Santa Rosa NM, but there were still trains operating on that route. i remember a few months back BNSF was detouring over this route to bypass trackwork on the Belen cutoff. all the BNSF trains looked like they were too long for most of the sidings! maybe they are repaying UP by letting some run over the transcon. <br /> <br />but, i did find a picture of that UP C60AC on the eastbound BNSF train. and i got a shot of the first SOO line diesel that i have seen south of Chicago. <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/kidnapped%20c60%203.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/soo%20on%20bnsf.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />and a shot of some CSX power heading across AZ. there was quite a bit of CSX and NS power on all the UP trains. maybe they had to use CSX and NS crews due to the shortage and they brought along their own power....[:D][:D] <br /> <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/csx%20leading.JPG[/img]
