Air Test |
Description: |
At this time the crew came over the radio and was doing an air test in preperation for its eastward departure. Just after departing though, they came over the radio again and said they had just went into EMERGENCY, so much for a good air test. Wored for us though, gave us a few more minutes to get ahead and time for the sun to come up. |

UP 6936 "Centennial" Special blasting its way over the crest of the hill in Kirkwood on a beautiful mid April morning. When I heard on my scanner that this train was only 5 miles distant, and a UP autorack train was also approaching on the adjacent Track #1, I scurried to the top of the overpass to grab an unobstructed shot of this train!! |
