Union Pacific Freight Action at Montebello, CA - 12/21/09

[JohnRinNoHo]

I lived in this neighborhood in the 1960s and 1970s and remember the Milwaukee Road passenger trains being pulled by E-8s I believe. I also remember U50s on this track.

Greetings from Belgium!

[singwith]

Thank you!

[Chapas45]

ah, snuffy. I captured that exact same Metrolink trainset a little further east and a week later (F59PHI #883 with the FrontRunner car).

[singwith]

Coo, I heard Metrolink started using/running NJT cars also.

[socalrailfanner]

I was in downey that day and at the UP line, i got caught with the same exact 1996 consist. Lucky me and you.

[singwith]

you did? did you film it?

[socalrailfanner]

No. I was driving back home from a doctors appointment, and managed to see the locos from far on the 605 near whittier/

[singwith]

oh ic...

[Intransitman]

Last week I saw a Front Runner(SLC) car #210 and a Trinity Railway Express(DFW) car #1063 coupled together in a freight consist. While waiting for my commuter train.

[singwith]

Yeah, I have seen them all the time now.

[Intransitman]

I forgot to tell you I was waiting for a train in Montreal.

[singwith]

what? I'm confused. You are in Canada or California?

[Intransitman]

I'm Canadian, though I mom has a cousin in Chatsworth CA.

[singwith]

oh..

[Intransitman]

I've seen UP locomotives as north east as Montreal mixed in to CPR trains.

[dthsriders]

why is there sometimes an engine at the end?

[CatishDuck76]

To help push the train.

[singwith]

Catish is right. it called DPU(distributed power unit).

[dragonhighlorde]

Some good action there, Snuff!

[singwith]

Thanks!

[The40MAC]

So thats where them Westbounds been going alot....

1996 1995 1983 are all at ICTF....But no luck finding them there as there hiding perhaps in the engine facility from getting tagged maybe.

[singwith]

Yea, forget about the Alhambra sub. There's a big project going on at Sunset Ave/Valley Bl in City of Industry.

May be all heritages are in Long Beach.

[singwith]

Btw, Tomorrow is very busy day for both BNSF and UP. You might able to see lot of trains in Montebello or Fullerton.

[paprna]

How u know that?

[singwith]

well, UP BNSF decided to slowing down their operation on Xmas day that crew can get time off.

[boeingnerd77]
