At 15.14 Union Pacific SD70ACe no. 8621 and AC4400CW no. 5733 slowly draw out a long and heavy sulphuric acid train from North Yard. The temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit (just a tad under 38 degrees Celcius) and I had decided to video this train as it pulled out. So, placing my iPhone on a convenient rail alongside the tracks I captured the view as the train slowly approached. But the heat was so intense on that steel rail that the phone shut itself down! No damage but teh viseo was incomplete.
