Union Pacific GP40-2 1394, the former Saint Louis-Southwestern (Cotton Belt) 7638, sits in the UP's J Yard south of downtown Los Angeles.

The blanked out rectangle where the SSW Gyralight package was, above the headlight. Had to share for the description on the paint job:

As with so many Union Pacific locomotive assigned to urban areas, this Geep has its own unique paint job, courtesy of the local residents.

Rumbling pass Roy Station, Union Pacific AC44CW No. 7221 and ES44AC No. 7520 (built originally as an AC6000CW) have left Ogden and are proceeding South with a train of grain hoppers. Although off camera, AC44CW No. 6331 (Ex-Southern Pacific 218) is at the back of the train serving as a DPU unit.

Nuclear Health Physics + Cancer Games:

Just so you understand nuclear health physics regarding the 3 major pathways into the body, and the distribution of radioactive materials throughout the body: Radioactivity plays the positive the role as both allowing the creation of life and evolution on any planet, and destroying life when you remove it from heating our planet’s core. Radioactivity also plays the negative role from its misuse in the Poisoning of the Planet as nearly only cause of proven cancers —not links, not % chance, not statistical! If it is put in a pathway into the body, which it is, then you allow any of the known 72 trillion possible cancers all caused from radioactivity. And now with gene spicing and viral vaccine use, one must now add multipliers to the 72 trillion!

There are over 250 radiological isotopes, with many thousands more more created by our technology.

Remember the old adage: Do not play with fire! —and these fires are odorless, tasteless, and invisible.

Best one learn much more of radioactivity, its pathways, and the fact that many of these isotopes travel to every organ in the body. Everyone.

Are you sure you are ready to play in the “Cancer Games”?

THE CANCER GAMES:

May the odds be forever in your favor!

But your odds of surviving drop significantly if:

>You live in Radioactive City, Pocatello Idaho,

>You eat food produced with Radioactive Fertilizers (Radioactive Foods).

>You live anywhere in Southeastern Idaho’s 140,000 square miles of Phosphate/Uranium fields.

>You drink waters from any stream or water source contaminated by processed uranium materials stored all across the western USA on the UPRR (Union Pacific Rail Road) that leaches into every water crossing— also all from Idaho.

Bon Appetit, and enjoy all the fine food we provide for you.

Florida is now the major producer of Radioactive Fertilizers in the USA. Idaho is scared they will go to jail for killing millions and destroying millions of people and children’s lives. And we hope you will prosecute!

And here you can include RFKjr! Because he knows!

For starters and just due compensation, we strongly suggest you prosecute Idaho Politicians for criminal Child Abuse, Endangerment, and Manslaughter!

Southbound UP Manifest Train at Dexter, MO por Zach Pumphery Por Flickr: An SD50 in DRGW paint leads UP Train MPRPB 23, and is seen here blasting out of Dexter, MO on the UP Chester Sub. after making a crew change at North Dexter. By this time the former Rio Grande SD50's were singing their swan song on the UP. This one was hostled onto the head end of the train a day before in South Pekin, IL by my good friend Dave Sanderbeck after the Dash-8 in the back of the consist came up lame. That mostly SP painted SD40T-2 trailing was a nice touch as well. These units aren't far from home here, as this is former Cotton Belt Trackage. This particular DRGW SD50 only made a couple more revenue moves before being retired and sold less than 3 weeks later. To catch one on the point and a tunnel motor trailing was certainly worth the effort on Dave's part. I'd also shot this train in Dupo, IL almost 24 hours before and 165 miles up the track. That would have put this train's average speed for the preceding day around 6.9 MPH. This was back when the word "velocity" was still heard in the UPRR vernacular, and at one time they were pretty proud of the number. You almost never hear it spoken today at any railroad. It's too embarrassing to even mention. UP 9859 was built in 9-1984 as DRGW 5515, builder and frame number 847022-15. It was patched to 9859 on 9-18-2002, and retired along with 16 siblings on 6-15-07 upon expiration of lease and sold to Progress Rail. They were collected at Metro East Industries in East St. Louis, IL, a handful were sold to shortlines, and I presume the rest were scrapped, including this one. Locomotives: UP 9859, LTEX 8231, UP 9457 5-25-07 Dexter, MO

Classic! I think I had a Daylight Sales tee with that as a design.

As part of the celebration of Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal’s 50th Anniversary, cab units from the three original tennant railroads were posted next to each other to recreate a popular PR / postcard photo from the pre-Amtrak days. From left to right are Southern Pacific E9A 6051, Union Pacific E9A 951 and Santa Fe F7A 347C on May 6, 1989. The SP and ATSF diesels are owned by the California State Railroad Museum, and the UP’s E-unit is part of that road’s historic fleet.

TUNNEL #29

Looking at some random downloads, realized a common theme was that Tunnel #29 is The. Cutest. Tunnel.

The 2% grade from Denver up to the Moffat Tunnel crawls through South Bend Canyon (along South Bend Creek) with superfluous tunnels and a surfeit of sharp curves, thanks to the mandate of then-Chief Engineer H.A. Sumneso who surveyed the Moffat Route's well-nicknamed "tunnel district" at bountiful π/1 ratio of rail to "as the crow flies" distance as he tried every trick not to make it steeper than 2%

A blasted rock bore barely 78 feet in length, tight-clearance Tunnel 29 on the Moffat Route is at milepost 36.38 and sandwiched between one of Sumneso's super-tight 12° cruves and the "curved bridge with no name" over South Bend Creek (which is officially named "Bridge 36.45" after it's milepost location) The feature on the creek's right bank seems to be locally nicknamed the Gibraltar Cliffs, from whence railfans look down on the tiny trains below.

The cutest tunnel? Yep. Did I mention the Ski Train?

Question?

Context: Active environmentalism is visible in the human dilemma which has faced us for more than a millennia. Many of us have often wore more than one hat,

Sometimes environmental issues take precedence over rights. Hard to believe? Only for those that don’t take Life as, or as some may call it “right for life”, taking precedence over liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without life all else is null and void.

Question: Why do some groups or individuals choose to not wear another hat, or another t-shirt?

Here is a the dilemma: Choosing between a fast death with little suffering, or slow death with enormous suffering. Please tell us where you position yourself?
