Wings |
Description: |
Of course, the really cool aspect of Caliente and Bealville is that one can catch the same train at both locations by virtue of the short roadway vs. railroad distance between these points. The classic Union Pacific wings lend a striking appeal to the most consistent of railroad paint schemes. |

Never on Tuesday |
Description: |
It is generally the slowest day of the week mid-continent (good for Maintenance of Way) and never an ideal time to be trackside. Time passed and the sun was lining itself up with the rails when UP 7698 finally showed, but that cantilever was the object. |

Not long behind a manifest comes UP 7839 with double-stacks. What a marvelous content of contrasts such as the blue river, parched canyon walls, high plains and Mt. Hood - with a railroad running right down the center of the scene. |

A Beautiful Day |
Description: |
Its a beautiful day in the Columbia River gorge as a westbound double-stacker meets an eastbound waiting its turn at the end of double track. UP 7899 is the rear DPU unit. For some reason UP moved the control point half a mile to the west, thus the now rusting eastbound main to the left of the train. |
