Red Flag - a photo on Flickriver

Red Flag

            A few days ago, word got around that a CN ethanol train was coming with an EMD trio on point. With constant delays and the unpredictability of the former WP it began to look like a night run. On top of all that, one of the locomotives died so a UP motor was added and apparently the lead motor’s ditchlights stopped working. However, it ended up leaving Portola last night just after midnight which meant it would be a day run into the valley. After waiting for a manifest at Binney, the train got moving and the chase began. The chill crew on it made for an even better chase and the conductor even got out to hold up a red flag. As to why he did this I’m not sure but it certainly made for an interesting photo.
