Could be, or it could have been heading to Oakland or to Lathrop then Oakland. I don't know which, because the train was only identified as a Z-train on the scanner; and I quote: "Calling the outbound for the Z-train." They changed crews shortly after passing my camera and, as you may already know, they were calling for the outbound crew. Thanks for watching.

@DonJr425 ioanp could been

As I mentioned above, the intermodal was a Z-train so IF it was going from North Platte to Oakland, its symbol would have been ZNPOA, or IF it was going to Lathrop the symbol would have been ZNPLT. If train came from Chicago then you would replace the NP with the appropriate code for yard it originated from. p. s. For anyone who doesn't already know, on the Union Pacific a Z-train is a premium intermodal and an I-train is a standard intermodal. -- Well I hope that wasn't as clear as mud. Everybody stay safe out there.

Thank you.

Hello, thanks for watching. 👍🏻

Unfortunate, but true.

Thank you.

Yep, it's always "nice" when you catch private varnish. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, railfanning can be like that sometimes.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that you found the timeline useful. Regarding potentially delaying EMT's; there is an overpass and an underpass not far from the railroad crossing, so emergency vehicles have a couple of alternate routes to get to the other side of the tracks. Plus there is more than one fire station on both sides of the rail yard, so delays caused by trains are not much of a problem in this area.

Acknowledged. Thanks for commenting.

Yes, the tracks are on an uphill grade. According to the information I have, the grade runs about 2.21% in that area. [Note: I updated the title of this video to reflect that.]

As a matter of fact, when I was checking out various Big Boy videos, yours was one of the many that KZbin suggested. After watching it, I did review my video and thought I saw a figure in the window and wondered if that was you. Now I know. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the comment.

I don't know what may be on Discord, but in the case of Union Pacific's steam engines, you can get official information at their website. www.up.com/heritage/steam/index.htm

I suspect Roseville due to the big yardd.

@@orgcoast5990 it’s Roseville

This was shot at the J.R. Davis Yard, in Roseville California, on the train station platform.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks

Thanks dude.

Yep, they need them for an excursion run between Roseville and Sparks, Nevada when the Big Boy leaves on Sunday, for people who were lucky enough to get tickets.

The big boy wasn’t pulling them original, I live by the tracks in Cheyenne and I saw them going by a couple of days before the big boy left cheyenne

Thanks.

Thanks for checking out my videos. I have to make one correction to your statement, Global 2 is at Northlake, IL and Global 3 is at Rochelle, IL. Source: midamericafreight.org/index.php/rfs/network-inventory/rail/intermodal-facilities/up-global-iii/

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comments.

Good eye, that one escaped my notice.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes, there were, that's why I left that spot and went to the other side of the rail yard to eat my lunch before leaving to run an errand.

Interesting info. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment.

Good eye, those logos are pretty faded and worn. The reporting marks suggest that these cars are now owned by The CIT Group/Capital Finance Inc. For those interested, these hoppers show up at 12:35 in the video.

Acknowledged. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you.

Thank you.

In this case it is the other way around, San Jose to Auburn. :)
