Union Pacific Santa Margarita Local LWJ62X with Ex-SSW UP 1068, startups and switching action!!

A cold October, Saturday morning brings us to Watsonville Junction where we see the UP LWJ62X or also known as the "Santa Margarita Turn". Today's train had UP 1088 and UP 1068, UP 1068 is special because it is one of the last Union Pacific GP60 units wearing Scarlet and Grey. The LWJ62X goes to Paso Robles more down the Coast Line. This video has startups of UP 1068, and alot of switching action along the Watsonville Yard. The crew on the train was really nice to us and they even let us get a couple of shots and I had a quick conversation with them before they left to Paso Robles. After all of that Amtrak 11 passed and I was done with the day and I went home.
