| Just fourteen miles from Union Pacific’s big West Colton Yard, UP ES44AC 8072, SD70ACe 8512 and AC4400CW 6019 (with AC4400CW 5946 and ET44AC 2588 as the rear DPU) passes through Ordway, the name of the control point in Redlands, California, on the UP's Yuma Subdivision (formerly Southern Pacific's trackage). It is mid-August (8/13/16) and the late summer heat has settled in - it was 102º when train QEWWC-10 emerged from the orange groves. |
