The 8162 going by Gigi's Lake House



Finally! Gigi was able to get some video of a Union Pacific train that runs the track near the lake house by Onapa Road, McIntosh county, Oklahoma. While driving to Checotah to mail Uncle Cody's birthday card, I spotted the train. So, I pulled over and grabbed the Flip Video Ultra camera and took this video (a little more than two minutes). This is Engine 8612, heading south from Checotah toward Eufaula on June 14th.

I didn't take time to count the cars Dylan but it would be great if you would do that. What do you notice about the train? How many engines did it have? What do you suppose it was hauling? Where was the caboose?
