It was a great catch! We were driving in our truck up the pass when we saw the head end of a UP train going the other direction. My dad saw the heritage engine on the front and we turned around and caught it several times.
train consists mainly of trailers-on-flatcars (TOFC), and maybe some intermodal containers. It is very high priority, and goes to LATC, the intermodal yard down by Lincoln Heights/San Antonio Winery. Is visible from 5 freeway.
Outstanding. Thanks for this great footage.

The Southern Pacific and Rio Grande units are my two favorites from the heritage series. Good catch on the Espee one.
