So close and yet so far away! UP 1996 and three other units lead Union Pacific's MNYGR. The train is currently picking up its DPU back in north yard. A utility crew is getting its air hose, etc hooked up. If the train were three or four cars shorter, Washington Street would have been cleared. Alas, traffic is going to have to wait a bit longer. While most motorists are probably not railfans, perhaps a few note the uniquely painted Espee heritage unit leading the train!
