That's not a C40-8W, either.

Well...i mean...it's...whoops.

Sorry, I apologize for being nit-picky, but... nonetheless....

That train must have been dispatched on a very, very serious roundabout way, because typically a WCRVM manifest train on the UP (nee SP) would go from West Colton (SoCal) over Tehachapi to Bakersfield, and then straight up the Valley to Roseville (Nor/Central Cal). It wouldn't even come close to Donner.

Using the Carr Tracks website (http://www.carrtracks.com/Southern-Pacific.htm), might this train not actually be the SKROM (Sparks to Roseburg OR manifest), or perhaps the CHRVM (Chicago to Roseville manifest - http://www.carrtracks.com/sptrc.htm#CHRVM )?

Again, I'm being nitpicky, I know, so feel free to ignore me. :D

Perhaps a something more interesting would be perhaps that it is the MNPRV or maybe UP's MWCNP or MNPWC train being rerouted.
 
The ELS 400 pulls up to Pembine with a few log cars that will be set out just north of the depot
