Federal Court Stops #Oil Project Near #ColoradoRiver in #Utah
$2B plan called for 88mi of new track through Ashley National Forest, connecting to #UnionPacific line in Colorado, snaking another 150mi along Colorado River and into downtown #Denver.
“An oil train #derailment in the headwaters of the Colorado river would be catastrophic.”
Failures to assess risks to Colorado River and ‘numerous #NEPA violations’ in #UintaBasinRailway project’s impact analysis highlighted. https://www.hcn.org/articles/oil-federal-court-derails-proposed-utah-oil-railroad

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.

#CPKC is the only #railway 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 #UnionPacific (UP) and #BNSF. UP is already making moves to partner with #Ferromex , 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.

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.

"Thousands of parcels have been scattered across the railway tracks in east #LosAngeles.
According to locals, thieves have been targeting #trains, both moving and stationary, to try and steal packages.
This section of railway is being cleared by #UnionPacific who operate the line - they've had to do so multiple times over the last three months."
