UP 8579 North, a trackage rights train bound for home rails in Wichita, KS, and thence to the Powder River Basin, heads into the siding at Gainesville. This siding, which also serves as the pass for Gainesville Yard, is over two miles long.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
