UP 1988 leads a string of baretables out of the siding at Castroville, California in February of 2009. The UP painted up this new locomotive in honor of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad which became part of the Union Pacific system in the 1980's.
UP Katy Heritage unit 1988 at Denison, Tx. It looks like glare from the sun up near the top but I think it's more like dirt or just simple wear and tear.
Here is more of a side angle of UP SD70ACe 1988, the Katy heritage engine making only its second run ever down the Geneva Subdivison. Notice how clean the engine is since Proviso washed it.
UP SD70ACe 1988, the Katy heritage engine, and UP SD70ACe 1982, the MoPac heritage engine, lead MCBPR through Elmhurst after stopping at a red signal. 1988 kind of resembles a Dr. Pepper can. :)
The crew\'s left her a few minutes earlier just north of Hearne on her way into Houston. Hearne is about 1.5hrs NW of Houston and is used by UP as an outer staging zone. This one didn't even get into the yard however, and this is a common parking spot along Texas 6.
