UP Surprise |
| Description: |
I was literally finishing up photographing a few ROW items like this signal shed when all of the crossing alarms went off at the massive West Washington Street intersection. I caught as much of the passing power as I could so up close - safe on a sidewalk - but upclose nonetheless. |

Barreling down the tracks next to the signal shed was westbound UP AC45CCTE #7397 heading up a 4 unit lashup and pulling a unit container train including a MDU (mid-train distributive power unit). Caught me totally by surprise!!! |

I had finally moved away from the intersection by the train signal shed to capture a few of the container cars when this UP MDU appeared (had to learn a new acronum - "mid-train distributed power unit"). |
