Parked Southbound Manifest |
| Description: |
This is UP Train AASEW 03. This happens to be my first try at a night shot of a freight. It is parked on Bernie Siding. This was about 8 P.M., so it was pitch black. There are literally NO lights to speak of around where the train was sitting, I had dad shine the van headlights on it, and I tried this 16 second exposure, turned out pretty good, I thought. Dad and I were headed back from grocery shopping in Dexter when we noticed it parked here. I wanted to try out a night shot, dad wanted to go on home since we had ice cream, but this didn't take too long and the ice cream is safe and sound! It made www.railpictures.net, even with that pole! I still don't know what was on the 4th car. |

Southbound Parked Empty Rail Train |
| Description: |
They've brought the same continuous welded rail train from the 1st back south, but they didn't do it without sticking this NASTY SD70M on the front end. It hauls 1/4 of a mile sections of flexible rail. This SD70M also piloted the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train through here back on November 21, 2005. |

SSW 9684 GP60 in the Cotton Belt Yard |
| Description: |
I caught an unpatched Cotton Belt! There were only 28 left at the time. I saw it show up in an Internet Trace for New Madrid, I knew it had to have been on the local, I traced it for myself and it was IN MALDEN. As soon as dad got home from a ballgame we hightailed it down to the yard for this night shot. This might be the catch of the month! |

The last GP unit ever built for domestic use sits in the yard behind the yard office coupled to a Speed Lettered, patched sister. Sitting in the late afternoon sun it sure made one nice figure. SP Units were down to 116 at the time of the photo. |

Train Derailment in the Yard |
| Description: |
As this$manifest pulled in this morning around 4 A.M., an engine split a switch and derailed 2 of it's 3 locomotives and the first 2 cars, both of them tank cars, the rail rolled over under the derailed cars and engines. Hulcher was called in, I saw their lights on the tracks and their |rucks in the yard when we came over the viaduct, I knew it couldn't be good. Here, at 6:33 P.M., about 14 hours after it happened, cleanup is almost complete. One sideboom has just begun lifting the tank car hauling "a volatile liquid" according to Union Pacific Railroad Special Agent Stexe Ray. The other sideboom is moving down the tracks to assist. The blurred headlights down the road are UP Managers in a Dodge Truck. They have just rerailed both locomotives. |

It showed up in an Internet Trace, I just had to come get a night shot, it waz really dark here, this is just south of CP Y166. I heard a squeaking sound and saw exhaust, imagine my surprise when I found a derailment on the other side of the yard! |

Northbound Empty Coal Train |
| Description: |
I set up behind Rhodes 101 Stop for a shot of UP Train CAENA 25 before heading north about a quarter mile to eat chinese food. This date would have been my grandparents' 54th wedding anniversary, but my grandma passed away last February, so we were thinking of her on this day too. This ended up being the last AECI-New Madrid Train that I would photograph in Malden before the new interchange track in Lilbourn was placed in service. |
