how u know when its a local??

[Derailedtrain666]

Because, this Unit stays in the Yard and switches companies around the town once or twice a week. terefore we call them locals since they come back at the end of their work.

Nice to see a MoPac freight car at around the 1:25-1:30 mark, those are getting rarer as time goes by.

yep, not to long ago in the yard there was a brand new UP auto-rack and next to it was a good ol' DRGW autorack.

Nope, its not exactly off US24, you turn off at the first exit after crossing the I-25 and go down for a few miles, there is a small metal recyling plant in a large aluminum building (looks like a scrap yard behind it), you can buy used railroad ties (we did to line our driveway) and all sort of metal items from them.

As far as I know, there aren't any steelworks on US24. Interstate 25 in Minnequah (Pueblo) is probably what you meant:)

In days gone by, the Rock Island used to have trackage along 24 from csprings to Kansas
