UP 3314 West on USW (UP detour)

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Randy Curlin	General	This train is detouring over SP Donner Pass because the UP Feather River Canyon experienced rockslides and washouts from the famous 1986 Valentine's Day storm.	4/29/2025 7:04:03 AM

Randy Curlin	General	This train has a lot more power than UP would normally use. UP embarassed itself by sending an underpowered eastbound train which stalled naer Emigrant Gap. Also UP had to scramble to equip detour trains with working cabooses because SP had yet to convert to full EOT ops. UP reallyt hated dealing with SP during this time frame.	4/29/2025 7:07:19 AM
