Calpine is building a natural gas power plant in Russell City, which is in City of Hayward. Union Pacific and Specialized Rail Transport brought some very large parts for the power plant, all the way from Louisiana.

So, if they came from Louisiana, they came through San Anotnio, Texas? DAMN!

@shadowknight227: Went Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, then west on the Overland to California, so looks like it didn't go through Texas...

A very special movement!...............Mike

Is that an oversized load, which caused it to take a circuitous route to California? Or just to keep it all on UP tracks?

I caught #813 heading back from Hayward at Jack London Square later on that day
