Northbound UP Executive Business Train |
| Description: |
We just beat UP Train SSLCB 23 to WR Tower on the UP Springfield Sub. The engineer sounded the old Leslie RS-5T which sounded awesome. This looked like a train straight out of the 50's with rotating beacons and everything in operation! |

Southbound UP 844 and the Oklahoma Centennial Sooner Rocket |
| Description: |
The Oklahoma Centennial Sooner Rocket operating as UP Train SWTEN 09 crests a small grade on the way from Wichita, KS to Enid, OK with a 14 car passenger consist in tow at about 30 mph. I don't think I could have asked for a better morning for big steam. This was the longest UP Passenger Train I'd ever seen, with 3 domes! Can't beat that! |
