Six years ago, on my way home from watching the solar eclipse in the Grand Tetons: me railfanning at the Golden Spike Tower overlooking the Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard, reputedly the world’s largest rail yard.

is the only with trackage rights linking Canada, Mexico, and the United States under one railway company. That’s over 32,000 km of trackage across three countries!

Quite a remarkable move, and something that’ll compete with the railway titans (UP) and . UP is already making moves to partner with , the largest freight railway company in Mexico, to streamline the transfer of cargo across the U.S.-Mexico border in order to compete with CPKC.

Railroads dangling $50k hiring bonuses out there wondering why no one is applying, acting like we didn’t all just watch how hard they fought to prevent their workers from having even one damn sick day.

So how about a train photo? Union Pacific X4014 Big Boy. Sept 2021passing Deer Trail Colorado. Not sure if this series are the largest steam engine but must be close. You can't tell in the photo but it must have been doing 60mph going pass. And I was probably closer to the tracks than I should have been. But OH SO Cool.
