Marty,
I will see if I can find out where this one is going.
Frankly, it never really mattered to us where they were going, just so long as they get!
These things take about 2 hours to get out of here, the air brake test and final walk by are a pain, they have a com line for the sensors and rear end, (caboose) that has to be checked, and all work stops in the yard when we come up out of the docks and drag through North Yard up to Basin Yard, (they are side by side) where the UP crews gets on.
All the switches are lined and locked or spiked for it's route through the yard, so when it finally does leave, we have to wait for the MOW guys to un lock or pull the spikes before we can go back to work.
Really puts a kink in the works if your running for a quit!
I will take my camera to work and see if it has left, if not, I will try to get some photos.
It should have gone out yesterday, but with UP, you never know.
Stay Frosty,[:D]
Ed
