UP 3593 |
Description: |
Each side of Desert Victory was different. I had to convince the UP Special Agents (RR Police) to remove the yellow barricade tape draped around the engine so I could get some clean images. Of course I gave them some copies for their RR museum at the Avondale Yard office. |

I knew this was too good to last. The UP was parking their empty grain trains right at River Rd and the levee in Westwego or as it is locally know, Nine Mile Point. I did manage to get some shots though of some of my favorite engines, the Big Mac's as I called them. |
