Northbound UP Intermodal Train
Title:  Northbound UP Intermodal Train
Description:  This was taken back before I knew WTF an artistic silhouette image was, even though I took it. Here we see UP Train ZLDYC 17 blasting past my old crossing with UP 3300 on the point. I remember how great of a horn she had at the time. Sometime during January 2005 while on the CSX in Georgia she acquired the Leslie RS-5T that was on the roof at the time. Talk about awesome. The train had 248 axles, it was traveling 51 mph, and it was 33 degrees outside, according to the detector at MP 157.9 on the UP Hoxie Sub. and my old notes.

Northbound Manifest
Title:  Northbound Manifest
Description:  The same train I saw last night, UP Train MLIAS 27, has just left the siding after about 18 hours of dwell time. You can see where I wrote on the side of the engines in the dirt on the air reservoir and fuel tanks.
