Union Pacific Grain Train arrives into Davis

Here is a shot I took of a Union Pacific Grain train coming out of storage. All of these cars were being stored in Wyo, CA. CFNR engineer Ben Battles, was the commander of this train. When he originally got it, he and the rest of the operators and mechanics had trouble getting it started. Then finally, the man with the magic touch was able to get it started. I don't know his name. So once this train was on the move, it was smooth sailing until right outside of Davis, the train had to be stopped because of a trackside fire. After that was cleared up, the train slowly crept into Davis. I also took some pictures of the train before and after it had the cars. This train's symbol turned to GEDQCS as it was taken by a UP crew in Davis. G-Grain E-Empty DQ-Davis CS-Casa Grande. Hope you enjoy! RATE AND COMMENT ALL VIDEOS!!!!!!!
