UP 1982 East, Leads an 11,300 Foot Train on 1-24-2012

The Union Pacific's 1982, an EMD SD70ACe, and a Heritage locomotive is the leader of a long manifest train on the Geneva subdivision. The train originated in North Platte, Nebraska and was destined for Elkhart, Indiana.

The train had unfortunately been forced to stop just in view of the cameras due to a train ahead with brake issues on a car. We pick up the action just after it begins to get underway. Also, watch for the mid train DPUs at 4:45

The actual passage took almost 14 minutes. I've edited in two sections of 4X real time to get it down to about 8 minutes.

Good grief... it would have been long enough if had been rolling right along. But having to start up again then slow roll by. Ouch!
