Here are the best of my photos of the Union Pacific Heritage fleet roundup in Salt Lake City, Utah - June 29 and 30, 2007. I condensed my photo collection down to 27 from the more than 240 taken (aren't you glad?) Many thanks to Union Pacific, especially Director of Corporate Relations, Union Pacific Railroad, Brenda Mainwaring. There were over 100 railfans and reporters at the event on June 30. It was fun meeting many who I had only corresponded with by via email, and judging by the response to this event, most had a great time. People had come from all over the country to view these colorful Heritage locomotives and thanks to UP for taking these 7 new locomotives out of the freight pool to do this for us and for the media and UP itself. (The 7th locomotive is UP 8444 flag unit)

All these pictures were taken my me, Ken Ziegenbein, and may not be reposted on ANY rail or other website without my permission. Thanks.

Friday evening, June 29, 2007 with a late afternoon sun, at the Salt Lake City UP Intermodal Facility.


Note the airplane.


A little further up the road, still June 29.




The Big Picture.




Saturday morning, June 30. UP still had the Heritage units on a track outside the main facility.


More of a head-on angle.


Here they are, one at a time. This is UP 8444 which UP decided to run with some Heritage units.


Southern Pacific 1996.


Chicago Northwestern System 1995.


Rio Grande 1989.


Katy 1988.


Western Pacific 1983.


Missouri Pacific 1982. All these were taken Saturday morning, June 30. There were several other people here taking pictures, some locals from Salt Lake City.


The line of Heritage locomoitves were pulled up to the wye at the Intermodal facliity's entrance as the official event began late Saturday morning, June 30, 2007.


OK....I HAD to get some artsy shots and the only flowering plant here was these VERY PRICKLY purple cactus.


Shot with the MoPac unit in focus and the purple things out of focus.


I reversed the procedure.  I was sitting on the ground and someone later told me that they DO have snakes here.




We parked just outside the facility, which is in the background.










UP's Brenda Mainwaring is in the center with the cap.


Over 100 were here.  Like I've said, I took over 240 photos, including closeups of the trademarks, but I will leave those for possibly later publication.
