Andy Fletcher is an artist, designer, speaker and advocate for trains. He enjoys sharing his drawings and his joy of trains with railroad enthusiasts everywhere.
We see a great variety of motive power heading through Davis on the Union Pacific. On a recent double-stack/auto rack train, Union Pacific AC4460CW #7306 was in the lead.

I finished a new music video called “Central Pacific’s Making History”. The song is about Central Pacific’s first locomotive, 4-4-0 #1 Governor Stanford which is on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, as well as the strength of immigrant workers who laid 10 miles of track in one day.
A Big Thank You to my friend Jeff Mast for contributing his great photos of Grand Trunk Western and to my friend Steven M. Geisler for contributing his great photos of Indiana Harbor Belt, Belt Railway of Chicago and EJ&E to help make my music video "Grand Trunk Western Chicago Bound Train"
