Southbound UP Manifest Train With UP 2002 - Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Torch Relay Locomotive  Contributor's Pick!       
The conductor of UP Train MTRLI 22 on Main Track 2 gives a northbound coming off Main Track 3 onto Main Track 2 a roll-by inspection as they wait to go south from MO Jct. after another northbound coming off the Jonesboro Sub. on Main Track 3 clears. The Olympic Unit was a nice touch, and for once, I had no idea it was around. I saw it from US 60 and hopped off the road long enough to shoot it.

Pat Scott General I'm sure the guy in the picture was glancing at Zach thinking to himself "what turnip truck did this dimwit fall off?" 3/28/2008 8:47:07 PM
Joe Magruder General This UP 2299 is a SD60M not a GP38-2. 3/28/2008 9:17:58 PM
Zach Pumphery General You're certainly right. It's a bit bigger of an EMD. Thanks. 3/28/2008 9:31:43 PM
David Mead General This is an excellent composition. The human figure has been placed just right, looking at the locomotives, rather than the camera. The figure also shows us the size proportion. As I have never been to USA, I have to use my imagination in conjuring up the sizes of your trains. The contrasting colors of the two locos have helped this photo to come alive. I also like the way you have used the full frame and kep the sharpness. 3/31/2008 4:56:06 AM
