The Union Pacific Railroad (reporting mark UP) is a Class I line haul freight railroad that operates nearly 8,500 locomotives over 32,000 route-miles in 23 states west of Chicago, Illinois and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Union Pacific Railroad network is the largest in the United States and is serviced by more than 47,000 employees.
Union Pacific Railroad is the principal operating company of Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP); both are headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Over the years Union Pacific Corporation has grown by acquiring other railroads, notably the Missouri Pacific, Chicago & North Western, Western Pacific, Missouri-Kansas-Texas, and the Southern Pacific (including the Denver & Rio Grande Western).
Union Pacific Corporation's main competitor is the BNSF Railway, the nation's second largest freight railroad, which also primarily services the Continental U.S. west of the Mississippi River. Together, the two railroads have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the U.S.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south and is bounded by Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.
At 165.25 million square kilometers (63.8 million square miles) in area, this largest division of the World Ocean—and, in turn, the hydrosphere—covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined.
The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean, with two exceptions: the Galápagos and Gilbert Islands, while straddling the equator, are deemed wholly within the South Pacific. The Mariana Trench in the western North Pacific is the deepest point in the world, reaching a depth of 10,911 metres (35,797 ft).
The eastern Pacific Ocean was first sighted by Europeans in the early 16th century when Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513 and discovered the great "southern sea" which he named Mar del Sur. The ocean's current name was coined by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan during the Spanish circumnavigation of the world in 1521, as he encountered favourable winds on reaching the ocean. He called it Mar Pacifico, which in both Portuguese and Spanish means "peaceful sea".
Union is the state of being united or joined.

The Spirit is a fictional masked crimefighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner. He first appeared June 2, 1940 as the main feature of a 16-page, tabloid-sized, newsprint comic book insert distributed in the Sunday edition of Register and Tribune Syndicate newspapers; it was ultimately carried by 20 Sunday newspapers, with a combined circulation of five million copies during the 1940s. "The Spirit Section", as the insert was popularly known, continued until October 5, 1952. It generally included two other, four-page strips (initially Mr. Mystic and Lady Luck), plus filler material. Eisner was the editor, but also wrote and drew most entries—after the first few months, he had the uncredited assistance of writer Jules Feiffer and artists Jack Cole and Wally Wood, though Eisner's singular vision for the character was a unifying factor.
From the 1960s to 1980s, a handful of new Eisner Spirit stories appeared in Harvey Comics and elsewhere, and Warren Publishing and Kitchen Sink Press variously reprinted the newspaper feature in black-and-white comics magazines and in color comic books. In the 1990s and 2000s, Kitchen Sink Press and DC Comics also published new Spirit stories by other writers and artists.

On October 6, 2017 the Union Pacific Steam Shop hosted a two and a half hour tour for the American Instituted of Organbuilders (AIO) in Cheyenne. The tour included the roundhouse and steam shop. The ongoing restoration work on the Big Boy 4014 and the recent work on the 844 were discussed in depth. See also https://www.up.com/aboutup/special_trains/steam
Union Pacific's Gila Sub runs from Yuma, AZ to Tucson, AZ in the southern deserts of Arizona. These videos were taken in late December of 2017.
This is a video I made somewhere along interstate 80 in the state of Nevada of a Union Pacific locomotive traveling at high speeds by itself looking like it was a runaway unit.
Days after a fire ravaged San Timiteo canyon. Union Pacific resumed service and the traffic was very heavy along the line so boredom was not possible. In a few scenes you notice that the fire did a lot of damage along the tracks and it looks like the Cajon Pass when it lit up almost 2 years ago. Hope you guys enjoy!
[Watch In High Definition] I've had a lot of requests to do more freight train related stuff. I listened, and was able to collect a large amount of clips this year of Union Pacific Freight Trains in the Bay Area of California mainly taken on the Martinez Subdivision. You'll see UP Trains racing Amtrak Trains, several different locomotive types, and a large variety of locations. Enjoy the following: 1- UP 6528 / AMTK 14 West racing toward Oakland - Pinole, Ca 2- UP 7682 West - ANPMI - East Oakland, Ca 3- UP 3871 North - IOATAR - Berkeley, Ca 4- UP 2520 West - ZG2OA - C.P Giant - Richmond, Ca 5- UP 8373 West - ANPMI - Emeryville, Ca 6- UP 8874 North - PSLOA - Aromas, Ca 7- UP 8069 South - OWPDO - San Luis Obispo, Ca 8- UP 2647 North - IOATAR - Pinole, Ca 9- CDTX 90215 East - Amtrak 710 -...

Union Pacific's 844 Frontier Days 2017 Steam Train makes a stop in Greeley, Colorado at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum July 20, 2017. The train was south bound from Cheyenne en-route to Denver.
Saturday November 18th, 2017 I was able to catch SD70AH UP 1943 "The spirit of the Union Pacific" 4 times in Southern California. The rest of the video are Union Pacific freight trains I conveniently caught along the way.
Short Documentary of Union Pacific history as seen at Kenefick Park.
Director's Cut of this video is available here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kclOkxfGLs UPDATE: A couple of images of UP4014. https://plus.google.com/photos/116751324549930992838/albums/5973781949078336609 Yes. I went to see UP4014 yesterday(1/26/14) in Covina, & Pomona, California. I like UP844 more but I wanted to capture the event because I live close enough to see it. To be honest, It was not easy to go there even I live in Los Angeles. I don't drive and chasing trains by bus or walk is not easy for anyone. I really wish I could have friends like everybody else but it's hard to find someone close to me. They are usually younger(under age) than me or older generations. Anyway, here's my video of UP4014 and hope you enjoy it. This video included UP4014 at LA County Fair, UP ...
UP E units with #6936 "centennial" deadhead of The Denver Post Frontier Days Train. When 844 was under restoration in 2014 the mighty diesels were called in to action.

This engaging Kodachrome drama (formatted for television broadcast) from the Union Pacific ostensibly deals with safety at railroad grade crossings, but it's also about much more: youth's feeling of invulnerability; the highway patrolman as an authority figure; the look of the rural and urban West in the late 1950s; the urge to speed through a sparsely populated agricultural landscape; and the train's role as farmer's servant and potential killer. This film was made just five years after The Days of Our Years but belongs to a different world. This is not the close environment of urban railroad workers, but the wide-open spaces of the agricultural West. It was shot in Idaho, and the highway patrolman who carries the film forward wears an Idaho State Patrol uniform. It's summertime and the...

Several Union Pacific units (and a very sad-looking SP diesel) doing their thing in Colfax, CA. October 1999.
As 2017 draws to a close, we're looking back at some of the year's highlights. To learn more, visit UP.com/insidetrack
Donner Pass is famous for winter railroading. Every year, the Union Pacific Railroad has to fight Mother Nature in order to keep the rail line open, and trains moving. In this video, you will see a few Union Pacific trains as they work through winter conditions. The first train you'll see is an empty grain shuttle heading east through Floriston. After that it is the ZNPOA at the Norden Snowshed and KLTG2 at Soda Springs. Enjoy. jakemiillephotography.com
In May 2017, major flooding in Missouri caused BNSF Railway to shut down its River Subdivision between St. Louis and Memphis. Normally, at Ste. Genevieve, MO, Union Pacific's local moves traffic for its customer, Mississippi Lime, using trackage rights over the BNSF River Sub from here on north for approximately 10 miles to access its own line in Crystal City, MO. At Crystal City, the lime cars are then forwarded on to another UP local (LSE-57) which takes them to St. Louis over UP's De Soto Sub. However, when the BN River Sub closes due to flooding, derailments, or other calamities, Union Pacific has to re-open the normally out-of-service Mosher Branch of the former Missouri & Illinois (M&I;) Railway between Ste. Genevieve and Derby Jct. in Park Hills, MO, in order for Mississippi Lim...

I'm back everyone! It's good to be back to. Do not worry I have still been going out and recording/photographing trains! The major peoblem was my laptop screen broke due to the computer screen frame being loose and worn out and I was not able to get it fixed for anywhere close to a reasonable price. So...I got a new computer! And even better, it supports 4k and also is a lot more powerful than my other laptop. So, new videos will be dropping soon! Also will be testing out 4K this winter! Anyways I hope you all enjoyed! Please like, comment and subscribe if you did!

Watch in HD! Early morning UP freight trains along the Sunset Route in the arid hot Coachella Valley in August 2017. Palm Springs is situated in the Colorado Desert section of the greater Sonoran Desert. Temps in August are triple digits for most of the day... This being said, I went out to catch the action super early in the morning to beat the heat, although it was still in the 90's even in the early morning hours. Went out two consecutive days from 6am-9am to Palm Springs area (Whitewater to be exact) to catch the action... I was at Tipton Rd for most the time. The eastbound traffic nearly tripled the amount of westbounds. Union Pacific must run their westbounds in the afternoon/evening. Thanks for Watching! AmtrakCal462

Cajon Pass lies between San Bernardino, CA and Victorville, CA. It is BNSF's main route in and out of Southern California, averaging around 70 trains per day. Last week 35,000 acres on Cajon Pass has been burned by a massive fire, leaving many of the locations seen in this video charred. This video was taken before the fire occurred, so you will be able to get a look of what Cajon Pass used to be, as it will take many years for Cajon Pass to recover. The fire was very tragic and my condolences go out to anyone who lost property in the huge fire.
First freight video I've uploaded in a while. Some of these videos are 2 months old. Several different railroads in many different areas are shot throughout this video. A few BNSF SD70ACe leaders are captured in the video along with some out-of-place-leaders. Despite being 2 months late, this video was truly fun making. And I hope you enjoy!
Union Pacific's Coast Line is a rail line in the State of California connecting the San Francisco Bay Area to the Los Angeles Basin. Despite a robust history of train traffic, the Coast Line sees relatively light traffic in modern times, and this is reflected by relatively little fanfare compared to busier railroad lines. This feature length film is a contemporary tour of a section of the Coast Line between the Salinas River Valley and Gaviota. Follow along as we go location by location with maps, historic photographs, lineside footage, and onboard footage. Filmed over a period of seven months in late 2016 and early 2017, this video is the most comprehensive film of the Coast Line ever produced! You'll thrill to exciting scenes as trains tackle the steep grades and sharp curvature of Cue...
I finally finish editing a video of Union Pacific 844/The 150th Anniversary train go over the Donner Pass video plus, UP 844(tender) derailed in Sacramento, California on 9/27 & 9/28/12. Hope you all enjoy this video and thanks for watching!
**Bailey Yard** "Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard in North Platte, Neb., is the largest railroad classification yard in the world. Named in honor of former Union Pacific President Edd H. Bailey, the massive yard covers 2,850 acres, reaching a total length of eight miles. The yard is located in the midst of key east-west and north-south corridors, making it a critical component of Union Pacific’s rail network. Bailey Yard has 17 receiving and 16 departure tracks handling 14,000 rail cars every 24 hours. Of those, about 3,000 cars are sorted daily in the yard’s eastward and westward yards, nicknamed "hump" yards. Using a mound cresting 34 feet for eastbound trains and 20 feet for those heading west, the hump yards allow four cars a minute to roll gently into any of 114 "bowl" tracks....

Welcome to the fourth segment in Union Pacific's Overland Route: America's Original Superhighway, by the Thornapple River Rail Series. In this miniseries, part of our Superhighway specials, we're touring the entire Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad, long known as the Overland Route, nearly a thousand miles of railroad spanning from the Missouri River at Omaha, Nebraska to the Great Salt Lake at Ogden, Utah. An incredible railroad, the original Transcontinental Railroad is today a superhighway of commerce, featuring dozens of freight trains of all types through the American heartland. From the lush framlands of the Midwest to the deserts of Wyoming and Utah, the railroad is as incredible and unique as any other. In this fourth segment, covering the Laramie S...
A tribute to the "Big Boy" locomotives produced by Union Pacific, "Last of the Giants" shows the end of a memorable era in Western Railroading. The "Big Boy" is the popular name of the American Locomotive Company 4000-class 4-8-8-4 articulated, coal-fired, steam locomotives manufactured between 1941 and 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad until 1959. In "Last of the Giants" you'll see the development of steam power on the Union Pacific from 4-6-0s, 2-8-0s, and 2-8-2s up to 2-10-2s and even 4-12-2s, shown through film, photos and animated diagrams. This is followed by the development of compound articulated Mallets and simple articulateds such as the Challengers. The Big Boy fleet of twenty five locomotives were used primarily in the Wyoming Division to haul freight over th...
