Still Got It
Title:  Still Got It
Description:  The old-school UP paint on these SD60s is rather faded, but as a 1980s classic myself, it's good to see them in service. UP still has all but one (a wreck write-off) of the original 85 units they ordered from EMD, although they have been renumbered from their original 6000-series. At one point they rostered an additional 55 acquired as part of the C&NW merger, but those have since been sold off. They are a bit difficult to find in the Midwest, those based in the Twin Cities area seldom venture east of Adams in Wisconsin and almost never appear on the east-west main (Geneva Sub) out of Proviso. Not sure where on the vast UP system the rest of these units hide out.

Little Red...well, you know
Title:  Little Red...well, you know
Description:  Union Pacific's Winona-Adams and Adams-Winona wayfreights (LTA-42 and LTA-41, respectively) are almost unique among freight trains in Wisconsin for still using a caboose on a daily basis. This is due to a shove move they have to make to access UP's isolated yard in Winona, and the car is not staffed while the train is on the road.

Description:  Actually I knew this was coming on the point of train MALBUB. This is the first time I have ever laid eyes on 1995 in the 12 years it has been on the rails. Also only the second time I've ever seen ANY of the UP Heritage Units, and my first time seeing one of them in motion (leading or not).

Arrrrrrrgh
Title:  Arrrrrrrgh
Description:  It's always something with me and Heritage units leading. In this case, my first sighting of ANY of UP's fleet (and it just happens to be my most coveted) is abbreviated by MBUWN pulling west on the main to clear a switch in the yard.

Title:  Finally!
Description:  Heavily backlit by the sinking sun, but I was determined to see as much as possible on my first opportunity to get ANY of UP's Heritage fleet moving, let alone leading. After over three and a half hours in Adams yard, MALBUB finally has its track warrant and starts the pull east.

Parting glimpse of North Western heritage
Title:  Parting glimpse of North Western heritage
Description:  After the head end just beat us to Oxford, I called it quits and jumped on I-39 south to head home to Madison. Our timing was just right for my girlfriend to snag this with her iPhone from the passenger window. I like how the phone camera's low resolution combined with our 70+ MPH motion creates a kind of watercolor effect.
