"No soup for you!" - Yev Kassem (from Seinfeld)
QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp Interesting timing, I just saw a Manifest - Yermo to Roseville Extra originating on the 13th (MYRRVX 13) today (one of six trains in two hours at the train yard). I do not know how often UP runs such extras. A couple of years ago there was a train that would run between Fresno and Yermo. It used to run between Bakersfield and Yermo. I do not know if it no longer runs or if it is a Bakerfield to Yermo train. Coal trains to go to Savage Industries in Wasco, CA. However, it seems like the last I heard they were interchanged to BNSF in either Barstow or Colton ( I do not remember which place).

I have never seen a UP train other then coal on the BNSF between Barstow and Mojave. How often does it run, do you know?

There are NO UPRR trains destined for the Bay area or the SJ valley moving thru Daggett as those trains either move over the former SPRR Donner pass crossing or the former WPRR crossing thru the Feather river canyon exiring at Roseville.
