Southbound Union Pacific Dirt Train passing Millbrae, CA

Great catch! Nice seeing six-axle units; welcome change of pace from the GP40.

Thanks! I'm guessing they will be appearing on a weekly basis for a while!

i almost dragged myself out to the tracks to catch this in Palo Alto but i had to get up early in the morning

It's ok, I had an extra cup of coffee that evening so I was already wired when I heard the train shove out.

Is that on the cal train rail??? or has there always been a freight line there?

[hoorider13]

Yeap, freights mostly run early in the morning to San Francisco but the heavy haulers run mostly at night when Caltrain service starts to wind down.
