a long ago 'passing of the torch' on Cajon
Author: valmont

Not great quality in this dupe, but the subject matter overrides that .... other than what you see, I have no other info. UP FM 'Erie built' on the move, while UP steamer #5091 rests.

Great slice of UP history! I would assume the 5091 was in helper service in between jobs...

What an amazing photo. The UP had very few FM cabs.

Howdy,

The same photo appears in Mark Hemphill's Union Pacific Salt Lake Route book; the caption reads:

"...first 203, the westbound Utahn, meets 4-10-2 helper 5091 at Summit, California, on December 17, 1950"


Take care,

Mark
