Southbound UP Special Business Train With the CNW Heritage Locomotive  Contributor's Pick!       
Heading up 11 passenger cars is UP 1995 on the front of UP Train SKCPF 17 approaching Piedmont as viewed from the MO Highway 49 Overpass as the train accelerated after being talked by a barely expired Form B Track Bulletin. Veteran Engineer Bob Plumb was at the helm and Conductor Jeff Tiefenauer manned the switches and radio. This was my second time seeing 1995, the other time I didn't even get to see the whole thing. David Connell, Vice President of Engineering for Union Pacific Railroad was who the trip was organized for.
