UP 1720 and UP 1859
Title:  UP 1720 and UP 1859
Description:  The Union Pacific Roanoke Roadswitcher shoves ten empty cement cars from local industry Texas Lehigh Cement Company onto eight cars pulled from industries in Denton, Texas. These cars are being positioned at the south end of Roanoke so that a southbound train can pick them up and take them to Fort Worth for classification. This move is an example of Union Pacific's implementation of the late E. Hunter Harrison's Precision Scheduled Railroading. The empty unit cement cars used to move in a unit train from Roanoke to a facility for loading. Now the cars are moved piecemeal in manifest service. I wonder how the hump at Davidson Yard is handling all of the extra carload business... UP SD40N 1720 and UP SD40N 1859 - Roanoke, Texas - 5-14-2019 - C.M.Palmieri Photo.

In an odd place...
Title:  In an odd place...
Description:  Since the local train entered the Cache Valley Branch on Tuesday; progress has been slow and the train has been running behind schedule. Normally the crew would begin their Thursday morning at their office in Logan Utah... However due to delays caused by snow the local train is found here at Lewiston Utah; parked on the spur leading to Presto Products. This photo was taken early morning, the crew hasnt arrived yet; although UP MoW trucks were spotted at the scene presumably for more snow removal work.
