Heading for Oakland, California with a Buy War Bonds coach is train no. 39, the Westbound Exposition Flyer, with Western Pacific GS-64 No. 481 serving as the motive power. This scene is taking place just a few years before the Exposition Flyer would be replaced by the famed all-streamlined California Zephyr train in 1949.

Palisade Nevada

Located along the banks of the Humboldt River in Eureka County lies the remains of a railroad town critical to the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. The townsite was named for Palisade Canyon and located west of town. The narrow canyon is a major barrier in the construction of the railroads. The townsite was plotted in 1868 and served as a train station for the Central Pacific…

It's you I'll always want. Some of your sweetness got into my blood. I guess it's there for life. And my heart will be answering you... as long as ever it beats.

And they too wanted to pay their tributes to the OG Misty and Jessie.

E.of Sidney, Nebraska, 3APR'79

Springtime on the high plains of western Nebraska: a UP eastbound freight 1244, headed by GP30, Rock Island GP38-2, C&NW SD40-2. The Rock GP38 was probably just paying back the numerous horsepower hours that the Rock owed the UP. Sidney had been a division point between North Platte and Cheyenne, but by now the crews ran through.

Visited the western pacific railroad museum, got to see the locomotive I drove last year (i am not a train theif they have a program where you can drive a locomotive)

[collinthenychudson]

I took some time in heading up to the Utah State Railroad Museum to check out the museum's newest acquaintance to it's collection of historic rail equipment, Western Pacific GP35 No. 3002. Following it's arrival at the historic Union Station, the locomotive now preserves and represents the history of the Western Pacific in Utah.

There are some beautiful shots in this video of Union Pacific's special train run earlier this month to bring donated equipment from their shops in Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America's facility in the Quad Cities (specifically Silvis, IL). The video specifically covers Nov, 14th, when the train made its way from North Platte to Kearney, NE

The move included steam locomotives UP 3985 (a larger "Challenger" engine) and UP 5511, a smaller TTT-6. The train also included some diesels, one being the massive "Centennial" unit UP 6936, and a donation of an old Chicago and North Western unit to another organization in Iowa.

Some passenger cars, a caboose, and other parts like railroad trucks were also included.

Union Pacific has more info about the donation on their website:
