UP: intermodal E.B.

10:45 PM

Just as we get down the road, I looked down and saw a headlight approaching from an overpass. I asked my aunt to drive down to a nearby country crossing, and we got there about a minute before the gates went down. An intermodal train passes by at about 40 miles per hour with a GEVO leading and a nice K5HL. Note the second unit, though. It is sort of hard to see, but it is the UP 1995 (Chicago & Northwestern Heritage SD70ACe!). I was so stoked to get it, but since it was dark, I thought it was just a leftover C&NW unit. It wasn't until AFTER I saw the video and took a closer look that I realized that it was one of UP's Heritage fleet!
