Second and third generation EMD's huddle together in Dupo yard on a cold December evening.

A pair of old school workhorses take a break, coupled nose-to-nose, in front of the Dupo yard tower. If you look closely, you can see the Yardmaster walking around in the tower.

Early on Thanksgiving morning this veteran UP SD60 with its train sits just north of the tower while a coal train prepares to depart behind it.
This crew rushes to get their train put together under the increasingly threatening sky. They would finish their work just as the severe weather came through.
A sickly GE (literally, this thing sounded like a Toyota running on two cylinders) and a SD70M are on the point of this short manifest (18x16) waiting for a signal out of Dupo.
Two old DASH 8's sit the evening out at Dupo while high cirrus clouds streak across the sky above.

Late in the evening, grain train GECCRB 04 with UP and CN power sits in Dupo yard while the first quarter moon slowly sets behind it.
UP runs light power including an IC SD40R, down the chester Sub from the A&S to their Dupo yard.

Two old birds lead a lengthy stack train on a windy evening, they are waiting for a signal to continue north.
