I went up to Black Butte near Weed, CA and found this interesting hybrid sitting in the siding. It comes complete with sanders (see detail shot). So what kind of qualifications are needed to drive this thing? Also, I've added some photos of a UP scale test car, John Deere equipment ready to be off-loaded, a tank car converted to a communications building, and some early morning UP action.
