Western Railroad Discussion > UP engineering specialsDate: 08/03/20 15:53 UP engineering specials Author: Copy19 The reason for the engineering specials is to give face time between the headquarters people and the field folk. Former VP of Engineering Bill Wimmer fine tuned the idea where the guys in jeans could talk the boss. Judging from the fact the consists are still the same (except for the 6936) it looks like the current staff is continuing the tradition.

Not so much in the RR business though. Similar events in the distant past have been described as based in the Spanish Inquisition.
Good to know that's all that's going on though. Date: 08/04/20 15:06 Re: UP engineering specials Author: starsandbars I liked it on the UP when BM Brown had his inspection specials , he would set out the local roadmaster if his track rode rough. BM Brown Special westbound at Lawrence Ks 1973
