The tarp is off and everyone is out of the way. I used a polarizer for this shot to increase the blue in the sky. This is one sharp looking locomotive.

Nice transition from the three Aspen Gold stripes into the classic four-stripe scheme of the 50's and 60's.

The tarp is nearly half off. Three Aspen Gold stripes start benath the cab and move back toward the long hood. Looks like a mountain scheme showing up behind the cab.

The tarp start to come off the nose first. Several people help to get it up over the nose…is that black under there?

The tarp is about to come off of UP 1989 and everyone will see what lies beneath for the first time.

Four days after this picture was taken, the tarp would be lifted and the scheme of the Rio Grande Heritage Unit would be seen.

If we were to compare the front of the Rio Grande Heritage Unit to the front of an F7A, I wonder how close the Aspen Gold would match!?

Forgive the fence rising up into the picture, but there was (unfortunately) no way around it. Aspen Gold covers the front of UP 1989, although it is interesting to note that the ditch lights are black!

UP 1989, with tarp still tightly on, sits at the end of a stub track with four UP business cars just west of North Yard.

The Rio Grande Heritage Unit, UP 1989, is tightly covered by a tarp until it is unveiled for the world to see on June 17, 2006.
