2001 Olympic Relay Torch Train

Good Morning--

I was on my way into work this morning and saw this engine. I had no idea there was such a thing and tried to do a little research online but didn't get much information. Are they just used for regular transport now? Was it a rare siting? I was like a little kid, though, and had to pull over and wait for it so I could snap photos. Just curious and thought I'd turn to the true enthusiasts and experts.

Commemorative Locomotives

A very rare honor, Union Pacific has created only 17 commemorative locomotives in its more than 150 year history. Some pay homage to the our predecessors that merged into today's Union Pacific, while others recognize important organizations in American society.
