Around the Curve
Title:  Around the Curve
Description:  Coming around the big curve near UP's San Antonio East Yard, Amtrak Train #2 passes a waiting UP Local led by UP 588 and the former UP East Yard Shops. The former UP shops are now used by the Southwest Institute (I believe) for emissions testing. In the shops are two CN locomotives, 2288 and 8822, along with a CSX AC6000CW and ex-BNSF 6304.

Unlikely Pairing
Title:  Unlikely Pairing
Description:  Would you have expected to see a P42 lashed up with an MP15 and two GP38-2's? And yet that's what we see here at UP's Settegast Yard locomotive facilities. AMTK 120 had been towed back to Settegast after a wreck in Lissie, TX while leading the Sunset Limited back in April 2013. When this photo was taken, the unit was waiting to be taken up towards Amtrak's Beech Grove, IN shops by UP.
