Great photos from your visit to the UPHS/CNWHS annual convention in Omaha. All I talked with had a good time and there was plenty to see. Also thanks to my friend for getting the new UP/Heritage CNW units on display at Durham as well. Also thanks to Ricky and his crew for running those brave attendees through the new PTC trainers. And finally thanks to all who stopped by the company store where I was camped out most of the time and said hi. It was really good to see all of you.

Interesting pics!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these Dave.  Your photo of IAIS's ex-NP 40-footer was the last one I know of taken of that car before it was (sadly) repainted silver.  I'll miss seeing that classic scheme.

Here's a view of how it looked a little over three weeks later on June 26.

The GP7 is 325 on IAIS. It was UP 725, then 125, then PNC 125 in green and yellow, and IAZIS 125/325 in green and yellow. Quite a past for this unit. It should be museum material. TIM VANA
