Southern Pacific originally had 279 AC4400CWs on the roster, numbered 100 to 378. As of this picture, there were only 13 of those 279 left and unpatched on UP's roster. Not only was SP 343 in Colorado on this day, but it was leading the MSIDV-26. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Consequently, UP has been keeping this snow bus on hand, just it case it is needed. If there is a snow storm in the the area that shuts down highways, this snow bus can be used to transport crews.

Pecos street is closed at the tracks (near Utah Junction) and a two-year-long Form B has been put in place on the tracks. A new overpass will be built here over the next 12-18 months, so traffic on Pecos will no longer need to worry about coal trains.

These cars are self-propelled, can go up to 70 MPH, and can record every detail about and defect in the rails as they move along. I happened to come across the car sitting in the storage yard in North Yard on this Saturday afternoon. I came in on the Limon Sub earlier in the day, and should be heading for the Joint Line the next day. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
