No. 9434 - Union Pacific - Altoona, Wis.

The morning yard job makes a light power move to gather their cars. The yard here in Altoona, Wisconsin has been completely redone to handle the local sand traffic. The jointed rail mainline has been replaced with welded rail as well. The local only used four axle power but now uses six axle units due to the increase train sizes. More on the yard upgrades can be seen here - http://www.therailroadcollection.com/railroad-photography/union-pacifics-yard-expansion-through-the-seasons-altoona-wisconsin/
