UP 844 • Niland CA • 11/17/11 - a photo on Flickriver

            Union Pacific train S-YUWC-17 approaches Niland, its first service stop after departing Yuma earlier this morning.  Heading to the UP's West Colton Yard for the evening, this train is powered by UP's FEF-3 class 4-8-4 844 – the only Class I railroad steam locomotive to have never been retired!  (It should be noted, though, that UP SD70ACe 1996, their Southern Pacific "Heritage" diesel, is on this 15-car train as well … just in case.)  Niland has an elevation of 141-feet (43-meters) below sea level!  Continuing westward, UP's Yuma Sub along the Salton Sea drops even further, to -233-feet (-68m) – the lowest elevation on any railroad in the United States.  (Niland, California – November 17, 2011)
