Did some railfanning at the UP Yard in South San Francisco, CA. It's about 5 minutes away from my house. A lot of motive power today, so I got a lot of mug shots.
UP 6404 GE44AC, formerly SP 349
UP 362 GP39-2
UP 1068 SW1500, formerly SP 2461
UP 1365 MP15DC
UP 1005 SW1500
Through the window of the 1005
Only a piece of UP 8806 SD70ACe in between two locootives in front
In between two locos...the American flag!
A row of hoppers
Railroad ties and ballast

Nice pics!

Thank you Matt. I totally enjoy RR yards. I fly to the West Coast via Chicago several times per year and pray for clear weather so I can see the yards when landing at Midway or O'Hara.
And, I am in the middle of remodeling my yard on my layout. I have studied several local yards and have been trying to incorporate a good image in my yard. But, there is one small problem. Most yards are really rough around the edges. Can you imagine trying to get our model trains to navigate track like in your picture below.

Matt, Great photos. What an interesting landscape yards provide. I can just see you standing there and reconstructing what it used to be.....
