Easier to read on a video monitor too. Date: 05/06/25 07:27 Re: UP 1616 Lincoln Unit to Portland, OR, 4 May 2025 Author: HotWater Nice photos. Is the 1616 MU'ed into the consist and loading, or is it simply being towed dead to Portland?

At almost 25 years of age and non DPU'able I will bet the museum is already chosen that 'can' and 'will' take care of it. After all, the other heritage units are all a little dirty up to Filthy! Of course they are simply to move freight not look nice.
