They haven't posted it yet for the public, for reasons unknown to me.

But here's what the plan is while it's in Sacramento:

---

Union Pacific Railroad will continue its year-long 150TH anniversary celebration with a huge, two-day signature event in Old Sacramento September 29-30. Union Pacific CEO Jack Koraleski will kick off the free event with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. as Union Pacific commemorates 150 years since President Abraham Lincoln created the original Union Pacific by signing the Pacific Railway Act of July 1, 1862.

Dubbed Union Pacific - Building America for 150 Years!, this celebration is open to the community and will be the most elaborate event staged in the Western United States as part of Union Pacific's sesquicentennial year to be held at the California State Railroad Museum.

A variety of locomotives and other equipment will be on special display during the two-day event in Old Sacramento, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, September 29-30. Highlights will include:

· The chance for visitors to see the inside of the engineer’s cab of the legendary steam locomotive No. 844.

· The 1960‘s vintage Promontory baggage car that has been retrofitted into a state-of-the-art traveling museum.

· Complimentary entrance all weekend long to the California State Railroad Museum and the Sacramento History Museum, and access to a special exhibit launching that weekend highlighting the legacy of the transcontinental railroad.

· History-rich passenger cars and equipment.

· Modern UP police and maintenance vehicles.

· A recently launched UP locomotive that reduces emissions and provides a glimpse into the future of railroading.

· Train rides on Union Pacific’s popular miniature train, UP 956.

· Free weekend excursion train rides on the Sacramento Southern Railroad (based on availability).
