Here is over 2 hours of trains seen at the Union Pacific West Colton Railyard from a full day of railfanning. This busy hump yard is located on their Alhambra Subdivision mainline, and builds dozens of trains each day, as well as taking in dozens of trains. Yard moves are done by a trios of classic switcher locomotives. In addition, high priority doublestack Z and I trains can be seen passing by on the adjacent UP Alhambra Subdivision, including seeing locomotives painted in predecessor colors of the Southern Pacific (SP) and Chicago & Northwestern (CNW). Today was very busy, and i also managed to catch both the loaded ore train and empty ore train meeting, which I think is kind of rare considering both don't pass by every day. Thanks!
