This train is coming out of 36th Street on the Limon Subdivision. UP hopes that in the not-to-distant future, the CRIP (Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific) line between the Belt Industrial Lead and Sandown Junction will be restored. If and when that happens, coal trains will no longer traverse this section of track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A closer look at the grinding operation doing what it is designed to do. You can clearly see the surface of the railhead getting shaved down a bit.

Note the flaps with the number hanging down alongside the base of the cars. The flaps help to keep sparks from flying away from the train. At switches (or other locations with trackside obstructions, the grinding ceases and the flaps rise up, allowing the train to proceed without causing damage to the trackside equipment, or the train itself.

Smoke pours off the three cars responsible for grinding. Rail grinding smooths down the surface of the rail head, helping to extend the life of the rail.

Built over thirty years ago, this former Rock Island boxcar clearly shows its heritage beneath its rusty exterior! The boxcar is now owned by the shortline Kyle Railroad in eastern Colorado / western Kansas. Its original Rock Island number was 300778.

The train is moving at restricted speed as its track warrant is joint with another train. The Roydale Local (LDJ03) is working further east near Havana street and it too is occupying the main track. UP 3932 and crew must be prepared to stop in one-half the distance of vision of the track ahead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is passing over a BNSF track that is now abandoned (at least, this far to the south). There is actually still railhead buried underneath all that dirt!
