Good catches, I wish I could see 4 trains in an hour on my double tracked UP.

Nice shots Brad!

I shot the 8916 and the 5140 at Rosenberg earlier that day! I heard the 9732 on the scanner, but I passed on it to shoot a KCS grain train on the UP. Also had a couple other trains- I took roster shots of all those ex-MILW and ATSF SLC reefers- I was amazed those things are still out earning revenue for the SLC, after all those MILW cars were built in 1972!
