In 2021, a new signal was installed at this location.
Back when I had just learned what an SD70ACe-T4 was and they were still really rare on UP I was overjoyed to catch two of them within the same day. I apparently still did not know what an SD70M-2 or C40-8W were, though.

Project-8-Fudanotsuji-Bridge
Fudanotsuji Bridge is a bridge just south of Tamachi Station. Beneath it sees six commuter mainlines and the busy, and iconic, Tokaido Shinkansen. I made it a point to go here before Nikko on my last day in Tokyo to catch some beloved trains of the Tokaido Shinkansen. As with the last bridge, this bridge is packed with action. I only spent about 30 minutes here as I had to hop on my train to Utsunomiya right after. Like the last spot, it seems as if you can't go one minute without seeing a train here.
As always, trains are categorized and timestamped by their line. Unlike JR East's Shinkansen classes, JR Central/JR West's Shinkansen trains all look very uniform, though there are three types (N700, N700A, and N700S), so I will just categorize them as one. Even though they are not at speed, Shinkansen trains sure are a pretty sight to look at. Now we just need to stop procrastinating and bring these beauties to Texas!

Original description from 2018:
A rare catch of a train I caught near Red Rock, AZ. Union Pacific 5684, UP 5919, and UP 7983 lead a Manifest. Apparently two of its axles were too hot and there was a flap dragging on the ground from a lumber car at 4:19. Chartreuse captions indicate the dispatcher speaking, teal captions indicate the engineer or conductor speaking. I tried my best, but still probably screwed up on some of the captions, so please tell me if I should fix anything. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Original description from 2019:
Today, UP 1377, running long-hood-forward, passed before me while I was riding my bicycle down Ray Road. I did not have time to set up, so the decision was made to chase it down 56th street. This decision was rewarding, for the crew gave me a Shave and a Haircut hornshow. What a nice third Kyrene Local catch of the school year!
