Radioactive Cargo and a Western Pacific Hopper on the Union Pacific
WATCH IN HD
This Westbound Union Pacific manifest had some cool cargo on it. At 2:16 in the video was a string of hoppers, with "Union Pacific", Missouri Pacific, and "Western Pacific" and at 3:56 there was some radioactive cargo boxed up on a flatbed. I believe this was the MFWWC-09, a manifest from Fort Worth, Texas Davidson Yard to West Colton, California. This was at 5:36 PM on 6-9-24 in Benbrook, TX. Thanks for watching!
The engines were:
UP 7876 GE AC45CCTE
UP 8235 GE ES44AC-H
UP 1371 Rebuilt EMD GP40M-2
UP 8085 GE AC45CCTE (Rear-DPU)

    There was a time in 2021 when they still continued on to eighth Avenue yard I was very lucky to capture the Grapevine train for the first time at W. Peter Smith St., Crossing but it would also be my last as a year later that’s when they discontinued going all the way to 8th Avenue yard the only times they go there is if they have to meet the FWWR Cresson turn

Also this is going to show my lack of train knowledge but what are the cars the big boy is towing between the tender and diesel loco are those like fuel tanks or extra coal also what's the point of the diesel train being there is it actually the one pulling the cars or is it just at idle providing power for the cars
