Newhall Yard - San Jose, CA
(before they put up the new fencing...) Side note: This is the normal northbound freight coming from Salinas, CA and headed to the Martinez Sub, and on to the Sacramento Sub. There were at least 30 grain hoppers on this run, along with at least two UP DASH-9 units, and a good 45 other freight. The local yard goat is a converted SP SW1500 (UPY1121) and a nice GP40 UPY unit. -- Yes, I know my freight when I see it.
That's why I call myself a train freak. When I talked to a local UP workman once, he asked me what train is coming and when. lol. Was pretty suprised I knew so much!
