Union Pacific Steam Program
(NOTE:
We
salute the
Union
Pacific (UP) Steam Program with its own category. The UP
holds the distinction of being the only mega railroad in the U.S.
that still owns and operates its own steam equipment on a regular
basis. The Company's sense of its history is to be commended.
The engines, equipment, and people involved are larger than life.)
