UP 2010 fresh out of the jamboree
Author: z-trains

The sad state of UP 2010, the Boy Scouts heritage locomotive, made me go back through my slides to find this image of its second revenue run on April 8, 2010.  While never striking like some other special paint schemes, the unit nonetheless stood out for its subtle tribute to the Boy Scouts of America.  No I was not a model scout and lasted in Cub Scouts for about 3 months, but the locomotive was something more than the same old.  Here it is leading IMNLB racing through the smudge on the map known as Flowing Wells, CA, which if you don't know is about 10 miles east of the booming metropolis of Niland, CA.  Flowing Wells is just that- a spot where an irrigation canal runs.  Conveniently, a local fisherman was trying his luck and in my opinion turned a dull scene into one that I fondly look back on.  Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Paul
