Here is a list of everything that was there as of last Sunday evening. Copied from my e-mail.
My previous e-mail described the cars from UP that are at Union Station for the DNC. Basically, all the tracks at DUT are full of cars. Only track one has room and it is used twice a day by Amtrak. Too bad this will never be able to happen again since the plan for Union station does not include any space for private cars or special trains...!
Additional info as follows:
Added to the tail tracks, south of 16th st.
On track 1 - UP 1989 (Rio Grande heritage lomotive).
