You're welcome. It must be contagious as UP has allowed their power to look pretty shabby since they've taken over Espee. For publicity purposes, Espee might have washed and scrubbed the set of units that they knew would be pulling the circus train.
I hope to make it to New Zealand before I die and photograph and ride the trains there. Do they still have that less-than-annual stream excursion tour that covers both islands?
