Orange Empire Railway Museum's UP E8 942, refurbished, made her debut Saturday with four of the Museum UP cars. She is the only E-unit in full UP colors because she has both her engines. The corporate fleet units are really something like SD38-2s, i.e., a modern single engine (with modern electronics) in a E-unit shell. And she sounds and looks wonderful. Note there are a few scattered ex-UP E-units but in other paint schemes.
The cars are starting behind the engine:
Pullman Sleeper National Scene, Pullman-Standard, 1956
Diner buffet-lounge 4051, Pullman, 1928, later modernized
Parlor car 1530, Pullman, 1924, modernized 1954
Chair car 542, Pullman, 1926, rebuilt 1950.
You better believe there are some really proud volunteers here. Many worked on the project and the project manager who made it come together was Dave Althaus.
