Glad to see some photos of this wonderful unit operating in the "CNW State" I just wish I knew some times of when and where it would be so I could snap some shots as well.!

Yes,

The UP/CNW 1995 and the two UP Olympic Torch Train units are together on there way to Council Bluffs, Iowa. I saw a picture of them running together through the rain at Rochelle. The photo was on www.railroadforums.com However they have the CNW 1995 sandwiched between the two Olympic Torch train units. According to the trace on DRGW the Interesting Trio is due to arrive in Council Bluffs on 08/07/2006 at 1100am, except that the UP 1995 is listed as arriving in Council Bluffs on 12/31/1969 ???
