Probably just some of the UP management travelling to put out another fire somewhere. Lately it seems as if UP management has liitle time but go from one crisis to another this is just another case of fire prevention.

I'm not sure what the occasion was, but I photographed it a few minutes later in Malta, Ill. Photos are in this week's installment of Trackside with Erik and Mike: http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/005/857ullvf.asp

Enjoy,

That was *** Davidson's inspection special, he was looking at facilities in Illinois, all the way from Chicago to the southern tip.

Get pix. Goes to prove if you do not go out you will not know what you missed. This is the perfect example. I voted for the biz train [:o)][:D][:)]
