UP 1417         
Despite the UP being slow, it was about to get busy, and busy with some very special trains in the mix as well. We thought catching UP 1995 leading yesterday was a solid catch, but a lot of things were about to be added on top of that. UP 1111 was leading a westbound coal drag, a brand new VIA set from Siemens was coming east, and UP 6706, the last active CNW patch unit, was leading a westbound manifest. Since a broad shot would be our best bet for a shot of UP 1111, we decided to head back up to the overpass east of Flagg. Our first train was not UP 1111, however. UP LPG04 came east by the elevator with a solo geep and a very friendly engineer who gave us a pretty good hornshow.
