Not only the last steam locomotive Union Pacific ever purchased, but also the ONLY steam locomotive in the United States to technically NEVER BE RETIRED! Β Her passenger-hauling days ended in 1958-1959, and she did a brief stint of freight hauling work, probably hauling short 'locals', before it was announced she would become Union Pacific's 'heritage' and Public Relations engine in 1960, officially starting her new career in excursion service. Β Currently in 2015 however she is out of service for another overhaul, but she should be back for the 2016 excursion season.

thanks - yeah i'm going thru some of my archives - i just got CS5 and wanted to try it out on some pics. espc ones with clutter in them - elec poles - lines etc etc etc
CS5 has "content aware" cool tool !
there was a elec pole right in-front of the train and was very distracting - gone ! in a couple of clicks !
