For those interested, an SRVCBW 15 is scheduled to be called at Roseville for 9:30 AM Thursday to handle at least one and possibly both of the rotary snowplows UP is having rebuilt this year by RELCO at Albia, Iowa.
Currently, the train shows to have UP6791 as the road unit (subject to change), UP587 and UP566 moving dead to North Little Rock, flat car KML152 on which rotary SPMW207 is riding, "snail" (F7B) SPMW8207, and rotary SPMW222. However, one manager mentioned earlier today that the 8207 and 222 may not make this train.
UP intends to have RELCO rebuild the other two Roseville rotaries, SPMW209 and SPMW211, next year.
