let's keep this thread going! Here we see UP 1995 parked in what seems to be a private storage yard in Council Bluffs Iowa. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.267...ata=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sata-gwqF6w2TTr0dOs6bHw!2e0

Indeed...

Did you notice the Jointed Rail pink-colored ballast track?

These are good, still searching in the UK here, on my line for now. No good spots yet. But wait, it'll come.

Union Pacific sd40-2 #1609 and 1578 at Taylor,Texas

Actually that's in Kensett, AR also... I thought it looked familiar from the other day... Besides take a long at the long/latitude numbers this is a give away as well. I've been through Tayor, TX on one of my many storm chasing trips over the past years.

Go up the street about two blocks from your train and you'll see a branch line with some freight cars on that. Follow the tracks... you need to go down the previous block and then cut over and you'll see this once you take a left.
