One last shot of UP 1989 leading the westbound Snow Bus, sitting on the siding at East Portal. The train is scheduled to head west to Phippsburg, CO. This will mark the first time the Rio Grande Heritage unit has ever traveled on the Craig Branch. This will mean that the Rio Grande Heritage unit will have finally traveled on all of its namesake major routes, save Tennessee Pass (which no unit has run on in well over 10 years).

Quite a different assignment from the one it had a few weeks ago when it led the California Zephyr! Here, UP 1989 is sitting on a train used for training of local law enforcement officials. That second car on the train is used for transporting radioactive waste by rail. The "nuclear" car has a buffer car on either side of it, and a Department of Defense caboose (actually used as a part of the Department of Energy) sits on the end.
