Pic of the Day

Here's a profile of the cab of newly constructed UPY RP20G3 # 2620. This was the trailing unit on Q-351-13 Thursday afternoon, to be delivered to the Union Pacific in Chicago along with UPY 2619, which was just ahead of it in the consist that also included CSXT ES44DC # 5397, UP C44-9W # 9573, and UP SD70ACe # 8422. The train made Fostoria in daylight thanks to the continued long delays and log jams caused by the winter storms, on top of previous delays from derailments on the ex-Conrail east of Cleveland. These new Rail Power "Green Goats" have all been routed on CSX from New York but have taken a variety of different trains and routings to get to the UP - it is almost a new "surprise" every time as to which train and routing they will take, unlike UP's new GE's from Erie, which almost always take Q-351 to get to the UP in Chicago.
