I'm not sure if UP 5590 was one of the units with the spreader, or if it came through during the blizzard and collected its snowy hat along the way.

Well, aside from the obvious that is! Of course they are all geeps and they are all on the active UP roster. But can you figure out something a little less obvious that they have in common? You can post your guess by clicking here and leaving a comment. I'll post the answer in a few days if nobody gets it correct!

After making a station stop at Union Station, the train used the passenger lead and was tied down here, near the house at 38th street. The train is only two cars long, and led by a single SD40-2.

A string of 20 units ranging from newer power to classic power sits on run-around track in North Yard. Meanwhile, a remote control operator moves a set of switchers out of the way on the lead to make room for three units from the MNPNY to pull off the train on yard track four. The managers in the yard tower were trying to figure out what to do with all the power. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
