Northbound Auto Train With UP 2002 - Salt Lake 2002
Title:  Northbound Auto Train With UP 2002 - Salt Lake 2002
Description:  Ceading UP Train AMXAS 31, an auto train from Mexico City, Mexico, to Alton & Southern Yard, Illinois is one of UP's Olympic Torch Relay painted units. Pat Scott gave me the heads up on this one via the little birdie network, and this was the=first time I'd gotten a shot of one of these units, even though I'd seen them collectively about a dozen times at that point.

Dirty Unit on a Korthbound Empty Coal Train
Title:  Dirty Unit on a Korthbound Empty Coal Train
Description:  As we were coming back from a weekend visiting in Illinois, we caught this at a private crossing after I saw the headlights and yelled at dad and he pulled off the road. This is one of the VERY few northbounds on the Jonesboro Sub., this is the empty New Madrid, MO (AEC) Power Plant. It just met a southbound intermodal. They eased the train forward, but when they got uo the signal, they let 'er rip.

BNSF/UP Derailment at South Mesler on the UP Chester Sub.
Title:  BNSF/UP Derailment at South Mesler on the UP Chester Sub.
Description:  This is a shot of what was all was going on. These are the details as told by a UP MOW worker from Dupo, IL: The BNSF crew aboard this train, a southbound grain train 9GTIGVJ 04, thought they were on a 2 mile long siding. UP northbound train KMNOA 07 was moving north with the tail end over the switch. The BNSF train rounded the curve to find the end of the siding and the UP train occupying it, they tried to stop, but they failed to. After running the red signal they plowed into spine cars and rolled off into the ditch. Grain cars spilled huge piles of the commodity. SSW signals and control point cabinets were knocked off and/or dented up, looks like a couple jobs guys could get fired, but I really don't know. Craig Meador alerted me about this, he got to fly over it, see his photos here: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=185123 . R.J. Corman and Hulcher Emergency Services were called in to help cleanup.
