  1. UP Local passing under the old Rock Island Bridge

    UP Local passing under the old Rock Island Bridge

    A "local" which runs from the UP in Dalhart down BNSF's Dalhart Sub to pick up/set out cars in the old RI yard here in Amarillo and return to Dalhart. I like UP's choice of power for this train. the old Rock Island Bridge is now used as a storage track for UP.

    Scaring the Birds

    My second run in with the CN 2225. He heads up the Cosco train from Prince Rupert. He was right behind 302, and he stopped at Riverview to wait for the block to clear. After that, he took off on the main to clear for the 357.

    Haulin' the coal

    Well actually, I belive these to be empties. There was a block of grain cars on the point aswell. A CN coal train, probably 773 or 785, rolls past Riverview. Unit coal is not a common sight for me, so this movement was appereciated.
