UP 2999, 3300, 2954 |
| Description: |
A trio of UP units, including the United Way locomotive, lead a southbound UP ballast train across Monona Bay. The 3300 is a very welcome guest in Madison as the power on the UP rock trains from Rock Springs, WI usually does not change much over the summer. I can only hope that the stars and stripes return! |

| Title: |
UP 2954 |
| Description: |
WSOR crews work UP ballast trains from Rock Springs, WI. The 60-some hoppers are loaded with the CNW's famous "Pink-Lady" ballast, so named for it's pinkish-purplish hue. The train is passing the site of Madison's Central Park. Progress on the park is impeded by the need to relocate the tracks, which are owned by the UP and leased to the WSOR. Unless the city can raise several million dollars to pay for the relocation, don't expect Central Park to look any different. |
