Even though it is a shot from the shady side of the train, UP 1989 still looks pretty good leading the MNYRO westbound on the main at Leyden.

Nice shot Kevin. I was the "lucky" engineer on the RO that day. At 6,000 tons the 1989 really worked for its beans that day. A leaky ice box was the worst part of the trip.

Always great photos....the hot exhaust give a great effect to the shot. Looks just like my Kato model!
