UP 3702 East - Las Vegas, NV

UP SD40-2 3702 leads something that is getting harder to see day by day, a trio of SD40-2s on a manifest in Las Vegas. Back in Illinois it is almost impossible to see trios of SD40-2s on UP these days. It is amazing how the things we used to call common can change so quickly.

Thanks! I was certainly glad to see a SD40-2, let alone a trio!

Yeah, it was nice to see the three SD40-2s but the crossing bell caught me off guard, I didn't expect one of these bells that far west!

Nice SD40-2. 10-15 years ago these were all over the place and on UP they had either Leslies or Prime type horns on them. Note: I think Leslies/Primes were probably used on all of UP's power back in the early 1990s.

Nice!! It's been a while since any Vegas trains popped up, I was from Vegas until I went to NC & now i'm in the Portland area and the majority of my railfanning has been on the BNSF Seattle Sub since I do better on the traffic activity then in Portland.
