Reenactment Ceremony |
Description: |
This nice small scale ceremony covers the critical moments of the original 1869 event, with a smaller cast and crowd. If you want to see this place when it is absolutely crazy, come back for the 150th anniversary ceremony: I imagine that will be wild! |

SD60M! |
Description: |
After watching SD40s working the Logan Branch for nearly a month, new power has finally come up here. A duo of wide cab SD60Ms. Think about it, SD60Ms doing branch line work... that is the world we now live in. This is also the first picture on RR Picture Archives of a wide cab in Logan Utah (local railfans attest the first SD-60M units arrived in Logan in 2013) |

Triclops Unit |
Description: |
At the Utah State University library I found a book from 1989 detailing railroad history in that year. Of note was the large sections of the book talking about Union Pacific recieving its first batch of SD-60Ms and how revolutionary they were. Now, 26 years later the SD-60M is no longer revolutionary, working branch lines such as this. |

Sunset on the Maersk |

Another hobby of mine is collecting Lego sets, and a few years back they released a model based on the Maersk SD-40 that worked on the Norfolk Southern. While this isnt the same train, I enjoy having a "Maersk" painted unit here in Utah close to home. |

New Power at Logan Utah |
Description: |
Sheesh, the uploader was broken for a few days; so this is a late picture. Anyway, Union Pacific has switched out one of the two SD-60M units and has now placed UP 1768, an SD-40N on the Logan branch. Here they are parked, idle, on a stub track next to Cafe Sabor (former Logan Station). Although the area is clear of snow in this picture, today when I uploaded the picture all of this place is being slammed in snow. |

As the DPU travels down the track, it signals the end of my train day. Good day in railfanning. Got to meet Kent Bankhead, and Karole Sorensen at Cache Junction. Got to see two trains, and a heritage locomotive. And I ate a sandwich, read a few more pages of the novel "The Martian," and freezed in 29 degrees Fahrenheit weather; all while waiting trackside. :) |
