I happened to be watching the TRAINS webcam earlier today and saw a long classic UP passenger train (with dome cars) heading east. Can anyone tell me what’s it all about?
UP Office car special…could be an inspection trip by high level company officials or it might be a tour for high volume shipping executives or it might be an inspection trip for a potential significant NEW customer. The Class I carriers operate their office car fleets for a variety of purposes. Of course it could also be the unoccupied equipment deadheading to a location for one of the above purposes.
It was marked as a customer special. For who, I don’t know. I don’t know if anyone was on it going east.
Probably not the best time to try to show off the railroad.
