While the weather conditions were horrid for photography, they were great for trains!!
The UP ran the Officer on a Train special thru Waco today, then the OLS special..The cars were the Cheyenne and the Columbine. Power was the UP 1996, a SD70M, UP 1982, and UP 1988.
Here are the first shots..more to come!!

After asking where they would run to next, Bradley, his brother Matthew, and I were invited to take a ride on the OLS special down to Hewitt and then on up to West, then make the return back to Waco. I must say the ride was something to remember, spend alot of it in the vestibule and the dome car. Thanks goes out to the Union Pacific on this one!
L to R= Myself, Dr. Pepper, Matthew Linda, Bradley Linda..
