Since we all seem to be on the subject of deciding what Union Pacific should be doing for the 150 celebration, I think they should use two brand new tier4 locomotives painted in new 150 anniversary paint jobs.
They could paint one in a Central Pacific paint job and one in a Union Pacific paint job. If they wanted to the paint scheme could be based off the original Jupiter and 119. After touring the system they can be parked nose to nose in Ogden while everyone takes pictures of them. Or even better yet they can be trucked to Promontory Summit and then a reenactment of the whole ceremony can be done with the park service steam locomotives and then the new tier4 locomotives. This would promote how far the railroad industry has come since the completion of the transcontinental railroad.
They should sell t-shirts. Maybe even coffee mugs too. I'd buy them.
