Old Augusta MP 15 |
| Description: |
It was not common that I got to shoot industrial units. Even if I saw them, a lot of plants had rules about photography, and some places even having a camera on the premises could get me in trouble. I made a pick up in New Augusta Miss in April 1999 and this was sitting right near the loading dock. |

Local and a slug |
| Description: |
UP had a number of yard slugs in service at yards around the system to handle switching chores. Sometimes theyd get out on the road for local work, as this one did. |

Moving up |
| Description: |
A new MP 15 works at Pomona Yard in Greensboro. I had been here a year prior when the power was still NW 2s, so the bigger MP 15s were a step up, though I saw them having wheel slip a couple of times when shoving long cuts into the departure tracks. |

Working hard |
| Description: |
New MP 15 2353 pushes hard on a cut of cars being set over for pick up by a later train. The yard was busy enough to keep two switch engines busy all afternoon, and the parade of southbounds was bringing more, even as those trains picked up what the yard jobs had ready. |
