However, I'm not complaining as the sight and sound of four EMD 645 engines running was beautiful! If you'd like to hear, I recorded a brief clip and posted it along with this shot.

This can be useful for railfans because, if a frame number can be found, the original unit to roll out of the factory can then be identified. Here is the frame number on UP 1350 (originally DRGW 3100). The number is 7360-7.

So I get out to take pictures as much as possible! On my way home from work, I caught this short work train which was headed for Bond. It is on the main at Leyden, running on clear signals.

Notice the broken wheel laying next the rail head of Main 3. For those curious, molten sulfur (which is what the derailed train was carrying) is used in producing sulfuric acid, matches, detergents, insecticides and a few other things.

Molten sulfur isn't toxic, just a bit smelly and very hot! "Molten" sulfur is really just heated elemental sulfur. Over 200 degrees, sulfur becomes "molten". It is dark red in color and had a consistency similar to lava. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
