Each Spring, UP moves its passengers cars from their winter home in Oakland, CA to their summer home in Council Bluffs, IA. The last few years, the special move (designated the SOACB) has come over the Grande rather than the Overland. UP didn't exactly pick the most pristine power for the trip, with a faded UP shield on the front of UP 4784.

Just about the only train to use the Belt Bypass tracks aside from coal trains are specials such as this one. The SOACB crosses over from the Moffat to the Belt Lead using Bypass Track One. Note the stadium seating in the back of the last car on the train.
