UP 7405, 11:05 p.m. This train was stopped here to meet a southbound and allow a northbound to pass. It would set up a somewhat unusual 3-train meet at Union Station. The Baring Cross bridge liftspan was up before this train got here, holding 3 trains. Since he's going to meet another train on the same track, which was past a switch, the legal thing to do is turn off your headlights for the meet.
Here's the other train on the Number 2 Main, also with headlights out.
At 11:10 a.m., the northbound on Main 1, headed by Ferromex 4663 passed UP 7405 on Main 2. UP 2285 is the southbound train in the distance, also on Main 2.
Looking back at UP 7405 as the other northbound passes.
UP 7405 started moving at 11:21 a.m. northbound.
CSX 7884 and UP 4530 was also in the consist. You can see UP 7405 switching to Main 1.
Container flats.
Always an enjoyable hopper.
