Heavy Freight Action at Union Pacific's West Colton Railyard! 12/22/2023

A day's worth of operations at the large Union Pacific West Colton Railyard! Trains are seen arriving and departing, as well as being put together by trios of classic switcher locomotives. In addition, high priority doublestack Z and I trains can be seen passing by on the adjacent UP Alhambra Subdivision. With half the yard supposed to turn into a full scale intermodal yard in the future to rival BNSF's San Bernardino terminal, this yard is slated to become a lot less busy with carload traffic in the near future, as traffic is diverted to be classified at nearby Montclair Yard. Thanks for watching!
