UP is going to be in a world of hurt this coming fall season!
The BNSF is realy starting to feel the pinch too!
I guess that the UP is giving alot of their trains to the BNSF and yet the BNSF has their own problems also!
Their is only one word for the end of year rush...........MELTDOWN![:(!][V]

I was up there in May and counted four trains waiting to get into the yard. And that was just between Roseville and Sacramento.

Nice placement of the conductor or switchman on the locomotive. He covered up the patch.

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!
