Coast Starlight Trip

On Saturday, August 13th, 2011, woke up to another night without hearing trains. I had ear plugs from my work to keep me asleep.
First train of the day led by UP 7004, 3902 and trailed by 7168

Minutes before, we got ord that a train was coming, and it turned out to be ORMIS, or Unit Ore Train Richmond, CA to Iron Springs, UT.

It was led by UP 7090 & 6767.

After out ore train passed us, a few of us went on a trip to see Shed 47.
There was a few rare objects, like an old signal cabinet that was cannibalized.
Also, some brand new spikes were in a bunch of buckets, and I wanted to take at least one, but common sense and my respect for the railroad prevented my from doing so.
Also along the way were some culverts.
