An interesting picture from the Washington Post attached to an article about the rail strike.

You could populate your Ian Allan ABC really quite quickly copping that lot!

Wow! Difficult to count accurately but perhaps 100 locos or more. Expensive to model. 

 

Would be worth being there at the end of the strike to see them all move off again. I wonder how many trains and how many light engine movements to pick up trains left elsewhere.

That's not a strike image I don't think.

 

UP store a lot of locos up in the North Yard at Salt Lake.

 

This is the beginning of three lines of locos together, another one starts later:

 

There are four long lines of locos in the image below:

 

However, such an occurrence was a typical Sunday at Penistone back in the 1970s 😆

Similar sights in Minneapolis/St Paul 11 years ago when I was there.....

The potential rail strike would have happened sometime on/after December 9th with the US Government moving to prevent the strike from even starting.

 

Sadly the imposed settlement didn't include paid sick days as that amendment was blocked

Correct. UP has been storing locos here for years.

Stored engines.  Several places like this across the system.

Indeed,  it was taken from an US newspaper as a 'stock' photo obviously but interesting nonetheless!

These are just stored locomotives. You can see a lot of these engines while driving on the Interstate 15(I-15) freeway. I travel to Salt Lake City quite a bit with my job as a professional truck driver.
