Thanks for another great video. Good location choice. Good sound and plenty of DPU action too which is always good. Thanks again and I bet you will be very happy to so close to your next trip.
I'm really ready to go. I know that there should be a good amount of action and I'm hoping to see the locations that you mentioned, plus ones in the DVD that I own because it looks like there are lots of curves and maybe even a small 1% grade or two. I will be emailing your for sure buddy. It's almost Easter, so it sounds like decision day to visit the US is almost here. I'll email you this week.
Once in awhile up puts power on their trains, but that isn’t the usual. The one stack train that had a mid train dpu and rear dpu had issues even with all of that power
@@AlikStansberry The thumbnail for example that was a race was because the UP stack train on the south side couldn't make it up San Timoteo Canyon. A helper unit from West Colton was sent out to attach to the rear of the train. The train made it to Beaumont and it had to stop as it had issues (I don't remember the issue). Eventually after an hour or two, the train started moving eastbound and it died in Indio (crew change should have happened in Yuma, AZ).

Enjoyed another very cool video from your part of the country. Have a wonderful rest of your holiday weekend.(Steve)
Thanks Steve, Stay warm.
@@Atsf1976 Your welcome and thank you.
Lot of UP power moving them stacks! Liked the new paint units & low roaring ACE DPUs!

@Atsf1976 What kind of issues did they have?
