i think it's cool how excited your kid was!

[LAtrains]

Thanks. Both of my kids were with us and I chose to edit out a fair amount of one or the other of them jumping up and down in from of the camera saying, " ... film me, film me ...." Kind of dates the footage for me as they're both in their 20's now.

what horn is that?

[ACLTony]

Wow! No if only those E-units had the classic Leslie A-200 honkers! Overall this train is such a classic beauty. Even with UP's past bad publicity, it is so commendable that they've preserved so many rolling pieces of its excellent history. Great vid, thanks for posting :-)
