Highball. A photo intermission.
Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 01:39PM In early June, southbound Union Pacific 5293 brings the "Dirty Dirt" into Santa Clara - where the former SP Newhall Yard used to be. The train is "turned" so it can head up through the Alviso line. The destination: Columbia Jct., Utah.;)
;)
FRED is removed and will be brought to the other end of the train.;)
Three unit set of GE runs around train after Amtrak's Capitol Corridor clears the tracks.;)
;)
The time-honored practice begins: coupling, joining the air lines and opening up the air valve.;)
Waiting for the clear signal.;)
Highballing tonnage across the salt flats in the South Bay.;)
;)
;)
Enjoy.
