It met an eastbound BNSF manifest which received a relief crew four hours earlier. Unfortunately, a parade of westbounds has kept the crew waiting patiently for their turn to head east.

Also of interest is the trio of mid-train swing helpers. Rumor has it that the cars ahead of these units are headed for Roper. The cars behind are headed for Grand Junction. After arriving in Grand Junction, the train can be cut ahead of the first swing helper and the front half can continue west to Utah.

The reason being that I shot the exact same train less than 24 hours earlier between Leyden and Rocky. Two derailments resulted it in taking 36 hours and four crews to get the train from North Yard to this spot at Tolland. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The second P42 on the Zephyr wouldn't load upon arrival in Salt Lake City and UP just happened to have UP 1989 available to help out.

Not entirely because of the temperature outside, but because of the mix of the temperature and the wind! The Ski Train has a clear signal at Tolland. Note the yellow school house in the distance, just above the cab of the third F40PH. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A few cylinders apparently weren't firing resulting in some descent flames coming out of the exhaust stack. A few minutes later, the crew of a westbound coal empty would stop, shut down and drain the unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Snow is certainly dominating the scene though just twelve days into October as the MNYRO heads west through the siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
