UP1989
by admin on Jul.27, 2020, under Uncategorized
While the boys caught fish in Palmer Lake, I caught this UP Heritage Fleet locomotive #1989 rolling by Palmer Lake with a unit train of windmill blades. Thanks to the guys on the bridge that let me know it was coming. I noted a bunch of railfan-looking guys with cameras (you know the look) on the pedestrian bridge over the tracks to the lake and asked if anything special was coming. They didn’t say what, but they did say it was three trains away coming from the north. It came by a little over an hour later and was indeed the third train to go by. You should always keep your radio scanner in the car.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
