Consist of Texas Eagle 22 this day was single Locomotive 117, Superliners 39018, 32077, 38007, 33023-Sightseer Lounge Car, 31033, 34085, 34082, 32098 (eight passenger cars). There wasn't a baggage car on 22 today, so one of the Superliner cars held the baggage. There were dense swarms of gnats all over the platform area-you could get a good protein meal if you held your mouth open. lol
Ticket agent Richard had the baggage cart on the platform at 1:22 p.m. The UP Maintenance of Way truck moved shortly after this picture was mode.
UP workers were doing track work.
Texas Eagle 22 arriving at 1:55 p.m. A couple of UP freights had run just before this.
Amtrak engine 117. I was on the other side of the fence leaning over.
