Yampai Afternoon-I |
| Description: |
The spirits of trainwatching smiled this afternoon as activity at Yampai was fairly steady. In the days of 251 (current of traffic) dispatching , the speed trains made over hills was valuable information in determining their future location in relation to following hotshots. On UP we would use their speed over Creston to determine speed over Tipton and, later, on the climb from Spring Valley to Altamont. BNSF 5279 comes chugging up the grade from Pica to Yampai. Dispatchers would use information about speed on the hill here to determine what a train would do climbing west from Needles. |

A change in direction |
| Description: |
After a southbound fleet of trains has moved through the area, BNSF 4377 shows with a northbound manifest. Nevermind those communication and power wires; I miss their lineside presence at too many places to complain about them here. |

Boom! As the 5279 passes westbound, BNSF 5405 comes howling through in dynamic and slack bunches-up as an eastbound manifest descends toward the valley at Pica. |
