UP 8217 Under The Stars

By: Jason Wilson


Description

UP 8217 Under The Stars - Earlier in the afternoon a ballast train had arrived Nampa and tied down for the night, awaiting it's next move eastward to unload for the various MoW projects across Idaho. With a beautiful clear night, there's no way one would pass on a nice shot under the stars as the trio of motors rest in near CP 455 in the east end of Nampa yard.
