Love or Hate Union Pacific, you have to admit that their passenger trains look better than just about any other (freight) railroad. Here, an engineering special crawls along at 10 MPH (after being flagged by the east signal) on the main track at Eisele (Clay). The train is, among other things, verifying the gauge of the rails and checking for defects.
