UP SMEPZ |
Description: |
After getting off work a little early, I grabbed the girlfriend and we hauled down to Eugene, where the train had sat for a few hours. By the time we got there, it was well out of town and into the Cascades we went. I missed it meeting atrain at Fields (because I got lost) so I just headed to the next place I knew for sure how to get to...CP VP537 Cascade Summit. A short wait later yieled this result. |

I was poking around on back roads and he sorta caught me by surpise here. They were hauling ass and right after the train cleared the crossing, something happened. I'm still not sure what, but it required a long stop and for the rear two cars to be set-out. due to shifted loads. I didn't notice anything wrong when they went by me though. |

I tried to get to Calimus before the train came from Chiloquin, but this requires driving on a very narrow dirt road. This was not a problem for me and the truck, but you only have access to the tracks in a few spots, so I decided to stick with this one. |

The 8106 had lost it's dynamics somewhere before Mowich and they almost kept the dirty old 5395 on the point, but the Modoc crew said they didn't need it. Close one! |

I was under the misconception that this was a fast line. After waiting what seemed like an eternity, and Kevin Dorn racing around in front of me like a madman, the train finally showed up, slowly puttering along at 10. |

The train was crusing through here, probably doing 20-25 before slowing back down... The locals were so impressed even they were taking pictures of the train as it rolled through town. |

With the sunlight angles getting increasingly bad, and a tired and hungry girlfriend patiently waiting in the truck, I decided to call off my chase here and head back to K Falls. I am thankful to have been able to witness one of the last big trains to grace the Modoc line's rails. |
