- Today I ventured down to the Union Pacific West Colton Railyard to spend the day watching trains at the yard, and on the Alhambra Subdivision Mainline. I saw tons of UP trains, as well as the BNSF Colton-Barstow transfer job. Though the trains were mostly a sea of yellow, there was also some Norfolk Southern, and Ferromex Units, as well as some new scheme UP units. There was also UP 1995 leading a southbound intermodal, and a Southern Pacific Patched Locomotive on the back of a Kaiser Grain Train. On the trim jobs, there were a few geeps hard at work amongst the SD40s, being a GP38-2, and GP15-1. It was very cool to see them doing some intense jobs, as mostly geeps are stuck on locals or stored. Thanks for watching!
I was joined be @CaliforniaRailfanner & @BNSF_7777_Productions here today so make sure to go over to their channels later to see their videos of today too.

Excellent video Colin!
Nice video
Excellent! Some of those trains were so incredibly quiet, I couldnt hear them even if my volume was all the way up!!
Lots of action, older units yet working and nice to see. I live on the east side of the Sierra and don't get a chance to visit yard ops. What is a "Trim job" ?? Many thanks!!
Hello and thank you for watching! A trim job is a yard job usually consisting of 3 SD40s, that spots prebuilt car blocks in the departure yard. From here the cars are left from where mainline power is added for the train departures. In the past there used to be 3 trim jobs on duty around the clock, but with the new CEO and layoffs, only 2 are on duty now.
Great catch
