Union Pacific ZNPOA on the Valley Subdivision

The Union Pacific ZNPOA comes rolling down the Valley Subdivision near Sheridan, California. This train was detoured via the Feather River Canyon do to work on Donner Pass. These detours crowded the Valley Subdivision between Marysville and Roseville which made it much easier to catch a train. Hope you enjoy!

I appreciate your informative commentary describing the video. Interesting that with 100 cars, there are only two units pulling. I assumed there would be a DPU at the end. What's weird is that at 2:18, I thought I heard one! Thanks for sharing.

If this train was traveling via Donner, it probably would have had 3 or 4 units. But with the consistent 1% grade through the FRC, large trains can be handle by only a couple units. 75+ car MNPRVs were regularly scene running 1x1 in the canyon. Interesting point about 2:18. It does sound like a DPU but I believe its that well car just having some problems.
