The 2008 calendar is out. All of next year's pictures are of the steamers, the Heritage fleet, UP 4141 or the Salt Lake Olympic engines.
UP obviously spends money on these engines; the operating budget for 844 and 3985 by itself has to run into the millions. However, when you see pictures like these, I think they are getting value for their money. In particular, I would point to the picture of 844 running past a schoolyard. It's the kind of PR you just can't buy.
