This one still says "Railroad" on the herald. 3. 361024 Watsonville Jct CA 11 DEC 1985 Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/23/22 04:29 by RJM29.

UP dropped the "railroad" starting in 1970 when the RR became one with the land and energy holdings. I never could believe that they actually went to the expense to paint out the word "railroad" on their equipment.
