The UP Mulford Local LOA55 At Newark With Ex-SSW UP 1068 Great Horn and Switching Action! & Amtrak!

A little railfanning across the bridge from my Redwood Junction...

Today on August 12, 2024, I left my house and headed down to Newark's Central Ave also known as CP Newark. Almost as soon as I got there the LOA55-12 was shoving down the Coast Sub and was arriving to the Yard at Newark. Then the LOA55 took cars to the Salt Industry and then came back with just one hopper. Afterwards the LOA55 coupled up with a couple tankers and it left back to East Oakland Yard. There are also a couple sightings of the Amtrak Coast Starlight and Amtrak's Capitol Corridor Service.

Info on UP Mulford Local / LOA55
The LOA55 runs from Oakland, CA (East Oakland Yard) to Newark, CA (Newark Yard) and switches industries in between the two cities. The train runs on the Coast sub but it sometimes makes appearances on the Mulford Line itself. After the cars are left at Newark by the LOA55. The UP LRB50 also knows as the Albrae Local runs to Newark from Warm Springs to take the cars to the WS Yard.

Today the UP LOA55 Mulford Local had two GP60s, one of them being an SSW Patch from the Old SP Days still wearing Scarlet And Grey.

Thanks For Watching.
