Another UP at North Las Vegas

I believe this train's symbol is the MSCLV? ..anyway...it was slowing down as it coasts into UP's Valley yard, where they have an auto unloading facility and a "Mi-jack" for containers.

 

Might have to catch some of the action in LV when I arrive there while heading for RailCamp at Ely. Any good railfanning spots close to the airport or on the road to Ely?

BTW, that b/w makes that shot look even better. :teeth:

 

I'm not usually into b/w but it sure does make this an awesome shot!

 

Hey Matthew,

When you say near the airport, you mean McCarron? The mainline runs west of the airport. It is less then 10 mins from there. The BMI branch runs / parrellels the airport runway along the southern part of it for about a half of a mile, but there are only 1-2 trains a day there. If you give me more specifics, I might be able to guide you to a decent place to sit and watch. As far as Ely, I am not that familiar with that part of the state yet, sorry.
Mike
