UP Watsonville Rock Job crosses Chynoweth Avenue

On a chilly March night, I was waiting next to the Chynoweth Avenue crossing at MP 54.8 when a set of headlights appeared from the south. It ended up being the UP Watsonville Rock Job with a leading trio of GP60’s #1017, #1097, #1003, and GP40-2 #1386 pulling 35 heavily loaded rock hoppers with a clear signal ahead. Note another e-bell on the cantilever mechanism directly across from me.
