Those are the days the really inspired my passion of railroading... I loved all the different kinds of power, the trains going fast and slow, the noise that was around them, the crews! I mean dont worry, I still love railroading, but I think this was a great era for UP trains
Great footage, you can hear the lope of the H engine during the SD90 footage. Great catch on the AC6000. I didn't know until recently that another spotting feature for a real 6000 hp GE was the twin exhaust stacks. They can be tricky to "authenticate" on UP. Nice shots :)
Awesome video man. Those were the days just right before all the changes. No fuel restriction so you got to see some train on the highball. Also the unit lash-ups were more interesting then as well.
That's probably as good as you could get for UP locomotive railfanning in the 21st century, but now pretty much everything has been changed to GEVO's and down graded horsepower motors of both GE and EMD, and those ugly yellow body shell stripes at the bottom, I really like the classic red stripe a lot better. Nice catches and lash-ups Adam

Gosh I miss those days! So much great power! I used to love watching and listening back then!

You can't tell what season it is. Nice video!
Thanks, they ran all the good stuff back in the day.
Loving this. If you have more please upload!
Ya a lot has changed in just 10 years, and thanks, trying to find more videos from back in the day seems my dad has hide them lol.
Thanks Ryan, got a couple and that might be it for a while.
What was the middle and last unit of your first train never seen anything like that before
oh ya some of those stacker really flew back then and ya the power was always great.
Hard to say, this one is the only so far that I have been able to identify.
Thanks, yes they can even though UP does not have any more "true" AC6000's.
Seems like there were a lot of SD70s with K5s back in the day I wish that was still the case
Ya those were the days.
this is kinda making me wonder how often the ac6000 comes through here...
5:33 what horn is that?
K5LA, easiest horn to identify.
3.30:EMD SD90MAC-H2 8527.
Oh, haha. If you've lived long enough in Idaho, you can tell the difference!
When watching the video, to me, I didn't notice differents
More !
Beleive that was a sp sd40R sp never order any - 2s new, only - 2t's
What? lol, thanks.
There's only dash 8s and a sd70 or sd60 clickbait
Not really click bait, if you'd watch the video there is indeed the various locomotives I mentioned in the title.
Did you even watch?
All you saw was the thumbnail just watch and you'll shut up.
