Good shots.
Just a pipe dream, but I wish the UP or a private group would restore 4-12-2 #9000, the sole survivor of its class, to service. That would compete the set of iconic UP steam locomotives in operation. http://www.railgiants.org/union-pacific.htm
Bowing to reality, I'm sure maintaining three operating steam locomotives will keep the UP steam shop busy for the time being.
I too would have liked to hear and see a 9000. But a 3 cylinder long wheel base locomotive would not allow the kind of tour the UP was thinking. UP was thinking BIG! Great shots Allan.
