Caught another one!

[Abilene Ks Railfan]

Heard this was coming into Salina Ks on the MDVSI, so while there last Monday, I spotted it on a track west of the servicing area. This is best shot I could get from a public road, as I did not want to trespass to get a better one

Nice shot Jeff!

I cannot read the writing in the side of the loco. Which commemorative unit is it?

Thanks Ed, I could not get closer without trespassing, so had to work with what I had

Got another chance yesterday as I heard it calling for a track warrant, hopped in My car and nabbed it a couple miles west of Abilene Ks

Nice shot Jeff. That unit still looks good considering its age!

I was thinking the same thing myself. Is the UP continuing to repaint it in the SLC Olympics paint scheme?

Looks like the grey on the trucks fuel tank and underframe has been touched up a while back
