UPRR Steel Gang Arrives in Guadalupe

December 5, 2006

A Union Pacific Railroad steel gang train showed up in Guadalupe today. The equipment for a soon-to-be 150-person gang will be based out of the Guadalupe exchange until March 2007. They'll be working their way north.


















These two mechanics are part of an 8-person team that will be preparing the equipment through December. The gang crew arrives in early January. Behind them is a piece of equipment that plugs empty spike holes with epoxy.
