In the tradition of the LABRF - a photo on Flickriver

            At sunset on a fall afternoon in 1998, a Union Pacific intermodal train rushes north on the Shasta Route near Cougar, California. Although Omaha has been in charge of the Friendly Southern Pacific for just over two years, it was still possible to view scenes like this that could have occurred years earlier. 

In SP days, the Los Angeles to Brooklyn Forwarder (LABRF) was, bar none, the hottest train on the Oregon Division. Typically, it departed Dunsmuir in the afternoon to early evening, similar to this job. By 1998, most of the intermodal trains on the Black Butte Subdivision were handled by newer UP power, so catching this set on one was a treat.
