A 15-car manager's special glides down the main at East Bond. Notice that part of the investment in the Moffat that UP has made in recent years is to replace the wood ties on both the main and the siding with concrete ties. Concrete ties hold up better under heavier trains and typically last longer and need less maintenance than their wooden counterparts.
