Hot Times on the Overland Route DVD
This video shows over 24 hours of awesome action in October of 2003 around the multi-tracked, great rail junction at Granger, Wyoming, where UP's line to Portland and Seattle breaks off of the original Overland Route to Ogden. Many railfans are familiar with the tiny town of Granger on UP's incredibly busy central corridor which is bisected by long freight trains seventy or more times a day on peak days of the week. With the addition of trains off of the former Rio Grande main through Colorado, the tonnage and train count on UP's Overland Route across Wyoming is at its highest level ever. And many of these trains are led by UP's fleet of new SD70M's adorned with wings on their nose and a large American flag on their sides. 185 minutes. 2 Tape/DVD set.
