They bring business trains through all the time throughout the year. Nothing new and not the huge PR bang they would get from their steam program. Their big PR promotion for the 150th celebration which should include the entire route has been bringing the UP 4014 Big Boy back to life. So you would figure they would want to cover the entire transcontinental rail route both UP and CP with 4014 and not just the original UP built end. Find it very interesting they are clearly ignoring the CP/SP end this year.
