Interestingly, this hospital train is configured with a manned mid-train helper, UP 8198. The crew on the unit was in constant contact with the crew at the end end. The equipment being donated to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum is all head of UP 8198. The train also had some gondolas and center beam flats in tow, for what purpose, I am not sure.

Seeing as how this is likely the last opportunity to get shots of UP 3985 on UP rails, here is one more roster shot of the Challenger in the light of setting Veteran's Day sun.

Cannot get enough of the fantastic low light offered up by the rapidly sinking November sun. The lighting on the side of UP 5716, UP 3985, and UP 5511 is wonderful.

The light is starting to get low in the western sky as the hospital train makes its way out of Wyoming and in to Nebraska. I overheard the crew on the train mentioned that this is the first time in at least 70 years at UP 5511 has been in Nebraska!

After making a stop on the western edge of Pine Bluffs, WY to check the equipment...and check on reports of a "green jacket" spotted in a coupler...the train continues to roll east through Pine Bluffs. The "green jacket" turned out to be some yellow tape that was part of the operation. The sun is starting to get low as the hospital train rolls past a small elevator.

A descent afternoon thunderstorm has the wind blowing and rain falling in Pine Bluffs, WY. Meanwhile, an eastbound manifest on Main 2 passes underneath the WY-215 overpass.

Intermodal trains continue to grow in length in order to move more goods with fewer overall trains. As a result, it is not at all uncommon to find mid-train swing helpers in double stacks. Case in point is this ES44AC!

An eastbound double stack pulls east on Main 2 just east of Pine Bluffs, NE on the Wyoming-Nebraska border. Seeing so little intermodal traffic in Colorado, it is always interesting coming up to the Overland and seeing almost nothing but intermodal trains. An afternoon storm is rolling in to the area from the west.

A westbound double stack (with a single DPU on the tail end) rolls slowly west on Main 1. Note the headlight of a eastbound in the distance. That train had to stop after tripping a hotbox detector. The conductor had to walk the train and the westbound is rolling by slowly as a result.

While waiting for the departure of the Cheyenne Frontier Days train, I wandered over to Pine Bluffs on the Wyoming-Nebraska state line. The weather was deteriorating quickly and the contrast between the sky and the ground was awful. So, I thought a black and white shot of this westbound double stack on Main 1 was appropriate.
