UP's and an IC

Started the day at the US 30 overpass with this westbound stack train
led by UP 7514.

Over to Fairfax to catch an eastbound loaded coal drag with
UP 5728 on the point.

On to Beverly with another stacker with UP 7790 on the head....

....and at the same time this eastbound rack train(UP 4906) was on the opposite track, 
while Job 32 was working on the north yard track.
My stay apparantly was not welcomed by Job 32 so I 
got out of there before something like getting called in 
could've occurred. GRRRR!!!
With a lull in the action, that gave me an opportunity to
see what the Eagles were up to by the roller dam. Photos
are available at--"Buddy Burton Photography".

After a trip to the Eagles, it was this eastbound coal drag at
Blaines Crossing.

Another lull occurs, so I went down to Quaker and what a
surprise. IC 6201 STILL in its original Illinois Central
scheme working on L563 today.



After lunch at Taco Bell, heard some eastbounds were coming.
We are now west of Bertram on Otis Rd SE. The first one was this
coal drag led by UP 6626. Reporting marks were EDGX.

UP 6826 was waiting for this guy to cross over from 1 to 2
at CPA 074. A westbound empty WEPX coal train.

A bit later, its counterpart eastbound train led by UP 5901 comes
around the bend.

To Otis at Fir Ave SE for a couple more eastbounds.
UP 8026 east with a Q merchandise train.

And to wrap up the day was this eastbound baretable with
UP 5155 on the point.

See ya next time!!!
