UP cleaned every nook and cranny on UP 5898, which is wearing UP's new official paint scheme, for it to lead this passenger special which includes "C-Level" managers from Union Pacific. As you can see, the new paint scheme has removed the wings from the nose, and moved the American flag from the long hood to the nose. While I do not know the reasons for the changes, I would speculate that this new scheme is a little less expensive, with a smaller American flag and no wings on the nose to contend with.

The final few miles of the Cane Creek Subdivision follow along Potash Road, current still quite a little ways below the tracks, both following the winding Colorado River. The rock formations you can see if you are lucky enough to be on this passenger special are simply amazing.

Just beyond the cut at the south end Bootlegger Canyon this UP passenger special continues south toward Potash. The train has roughly seven miles left on its journey. If you look closely, you can see a nice photo line of railfans set up at the south end of the cut on the right side of the picture. They are standing on the Corona Arch Trailhead, which happens to cross the tracks!
