Southbound UP Special Business Train - The 2011 Super Bowl Special
Title:  Southbound UP Special Business Train - The 2011 Super Bowl Special
Description:  Coming by Sagebrush Road near Everest, KS is The 2011 Super Bowl Special UP Train SCBFW 30 with the E-Units, UP 1988, and UP 2010 heading up 21 cars.

I nearly broke my ankle on the way out of this field. I was about 2 steps from the truck when I went down like I was shot, rolled around in the ditch, cursed...a lot, stood up, got in the truck, punched the gas. I think I sprained it somewhat but the swelling went down Sunday night when I iced it.

Description:  The 2011 Super Bowl Special UP Train SCBFW 30 with the E-Units, UP 1988, and UP 2010 heading up 21 cars took the siding at Shannon, KS for an empty coal train that held the main. They came to a brief stop and then puttered on down to Atchison. Notice these f***ing clouds that showed up in literally the last 5 minutes--it's flurrying now.

Eastbound UP Special Business Train - UP 1988
Title:  Eastbound UP Special Business Train - UP 1988
Description:  Roster shot of UP 1988 at 1st Street in Kansas City. She looks about as good as I've ever seen her--and I think I shot her the 4th day the cab card had been signed since she hit the UP again after arriving back from the WSOR.

Here you can see they repainted the underframe, and no, they didn't just clean it, as you can see silver overspray on the wheels. I wish the UP 1982 would get the same treatment, as its underframe looks downright crappy, especially on the engineer's side. Compare it with this shot back in September before the face lift: http://uptrain.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2283689
