In 1973 I was too young to drive very far. But, my parents went to visit relatives in Boise, Idaho. So, I made a side trip to Nampa with my cousin. UP U28C 2801 in Nampa Idaho on an unknown date in 1973. According to George Foster, "that 'Be Specific, Ship Union Pacific' boxcar in the background is a B-50-18 or B-50-19."
