As the dreaded Y2K approaches, a Union Pacific intermodal train heads east away from civilization, which will collapse into chaos just two days hence! Southern Pacific SD40M-2 8666 leads this train as is passes through the signal bridge nestled in the orange groves at Ordway (milepost 548 on the UP’s Yuma Sub) on December 30, 1999. SP 8666, still in an SD45 carbody, is the former Chicago & North Western 964.
