UP 2528 |
| Description: |
A Union Pacific intermodal train heads east through Palm Springs, California. It is also the location of the Amtrak station, which is the low adobe structure just to the left of UP ES44AC 2528. Up front are UP 2528 and UP 7788, and the rear Distributed Power Units (DPU) are UP 5366 and SP 187 - one of the few remaining unpatched Southern Pacific AC4400CWs. And the windmills? Yes, it is almost always windy here! (The joke is that it would be much less windy if they'd just turn off all those damn fans!!!) |

This is a scene reminiscent of my youth, when orange groves could be found all over southern California. The trains looked different back then, though ... |

CSXT 5414 - Evansville IN - 10/01/17 |
| Description: |
With the growing season over, the crops that are grown in the flood plain in southern Evansville, Indiana, have been plowed under in preparation for next summer's harvest. The CSX mainline is built upon a long stretch of trestles in order to keep the railroad running whenever the Ohio floods its banks - so there is a prototype for the Atlas trestle set! A southbound CSX intermodal train heads for the bridge across the Ohio River (and on into Kentucky) on October 1, 2017. CSX ES44DC 5414, ES44AC 3024 and ES44DC 5298 are leading this train on a bright, sunny morning. |

UP 8134 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific train ZLAMQ-13 climbs the grade through San Timoteo Canyon on August 13, 2016, as UP ES44AC 8134, SD70M 4285 and ES44AC 7705 (with UP ES44AC 8062 on the rear) work hard to lift this 7954-foot train over the mountains. This is the old Southern Pacific Sunset Route, and the summit of this pass is Beaumont, for which this mountain crossing is named (Beaumont Hill) as trains head east out of southern California for Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and points east. |

UP 8227 |
| Description: |
The temperature in Banning, California, was approaching 100º as Union Pacific ES44AC 8227, with train ZCIG4-13 in tow, passed through, but higher temperatures (118º!) lay ahead as this train was heading for Indio and Yuma, in the "low" desert. (Low enough that this train will operate from Banning's 2349' elevation to 220' BELOW sea level as the old SP Sunset Route skirts the Salton Sea in another 80 miles.) |
