One was a light power move featuring NS 8100.

Passing Kentucky St end Date: 10/23/16 08:06 Re: 844 Marion to Memphis Author: highgreengraphics Great shots - Hopefully they spiffed up 1982 before its appearance, it was starting to look more than a bit ratty. I am also surprised that UP did not field a more impressive passenger consist. With all those beautiful passenger cars in inventory, I am surprised the train was not added to somewhere en route. And with all those beautiful observation cars in inventory, the best they can do is put an express boxcar on the back? === === = === JLH
