Freight at College Park At 6 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026, at College Park in San Jose, CA, Union Pacific (UP) 1001, 1338 and 1495 led a northbound UP freight. I am not sure if this was a Salinas or Mission Bay Turn or something else? UP 1001 is a GMLG GP60. Reportedly it was built in 1994 as SP 9793, SP Class EF438-3. Another former number said to be associated with this locomotive is UP 2093. -- Nikon D810, Nikon 85mm f1.8 FX AF lens

San Luis Obispo train station.

Black and white image of the corner of the San Luis Obispo train station on the side facing the tracks. There is a white paneled door with a window above that has had the glass removed and a solid surface put in. A Union Pacific logo is posted in this old window space. The wall is white except for a dark, painted wainscoting along the base. On the upper corner of the building are video cameras pointing to each side of the building. To the right are the concrete boarding platforms, the tracks, then trees lining the track on the far side.

Hey #UNP, when are we going to see electric locomotives w/ four cars of batteries to run the train?

It’s already a diesel engine powered electric motor. When does the math make sense to go full EV?

You have coast to coast rail. Could pick up battery cars at wind & solar farms.

In Northfield,IL, the #NorthShoreLine ROW is still visible at Willow & Happ/Central roads. The #Interurban died on Jan. 21, 1963. Its SB main was taken over by the Chicago & NorthWestern (later @UnionPacific) because it was much better than CNW's own, parallel track.

Ladder rungs lead up the side of a stainless steel locomotive/rotary snowplow. At the top is a door that opens into the cab of the vehicle. Beside the ladder rungs are markings for each foot in height above the rails, which I assume is to be able to read the depth of snow being plowed.

Alright. I went to one of the #SLC #WEConnect people and talked a bit with them. They swore up and down that they tried to get #UnionPacific on board with the plan, which... I kind of believe them, even if I'm still hideously disappointed with the end product of, uh... four vehicle crossings.
