Empty Coal Train

 

Click Photo To Enlarge

On Saturday August 3, 2019, I spent an awesome day chasing trains with my friend Ken Compton. At 2 p.m. a Union Pacific (UP) eastbound empty coal train had UP 2630, 8456 and 2599 as power. The train was in the Painted Rack Road area west of Fernley, Nevada.
UP 2630 is a GE ES44AC, UP designation ET44AH. Reportedly, it was built in 2015, builders number 63638, from UP series 2570-2669.
