UP 4928 Approaches Out of Service Searchlights
Title:  UP 4928 Approaches Out of Service Searchlights
Description:  CORP Job 501 approaches a pair of welded down former semaphore signals that were likely removed from service the same in 2007 when the last semaphores were replaced with trilights.

Yoncalla Hauler
Title:  Yoncalla Hauler
Description:  Described over the radio as the "Yoncalla Hauler" and operating with UP power in the form of two back-to-back SD70Ms on Central Oregon & Pacific track. Up until 2007 the Siskiyou line still had several semaphore signals in use between Goshen and Yoncalla, but today this is all that remains of the blades that once covered the line. These signals appear to be a pair that was welded down into searchlights by SP which replaced them in a seemingly very random order, and now they too have fallen out of service.

Title:  UP 4928
Description:  Leads the southbound "Yoncalla Hauler" on CORP's Roseburg Sub (ex-SP Siskiyou Sub). The UP power is leased, CORP gets UP power (which is almost always 2 back to back EMD SD70Ms) on its two largest trains on the Roseburg, the Yoncalla seen here, and its loaded Northbound conterpart the "Medford Hauler."
