Just observed something new on the webcam- eastbound UP mixed manifest on Track 2, relatively short (maybe 35-40 cars) with two spartan cabs for power. What was new was the fact that there were several cars being pushed AHEAD of the engines, and a crew member riding the first one. No horn warnings from this one...

BC - BNSF headed up north. Actually I saw one on each - UP was later. That's why I put tanker unit train - it could have been hauling water for all I know.

SJ, was your tank train on UP or BNSF? If UP, it was likely for ethanol, not crude oil.I saw the other thread first tonight, but I'll reiterate my first thought when I opened the page to see--and hear--a stack train headed east on UP: Wow!
Resolution--that's the word...I need would like a little more. I'll bet locomotive numbers would be visible in many cases if I could see clearly!
