That might have been the only time to see a GP9 bracketed by two SD70ACes, let alone the heritage units, and be coupled by a WP B unit and UP 951! That is the coolest mainline train (if you could call it that) that I have ever seen.
Two of the three GP9's that WPRM owns are in crappy shape, they are still in UP paint but with green numbering, they also have a SP Kodachrome GP9, the GP20 on this train is very signigficant in railroad history, because it was the first turbocharged locomotive built by EMD back in 1959
how did you know when the train was going to pass by?
