Nostalgia & History > The End (pt 167): CR on the UPDate: 03/18/26 08:35 The End (pt 167): CR on the UP Author: santafe199 My friend Jim Watson grabbed this rolling roster shot of a Conrail cab on the UP transcon in Nebraska. If he also got a “train shot” I never found it in his collection. Too bad…
1. CR caboose 23384 near Richland, NE on May 16, 1979. Original Kodachrome slide by the late James W. Watson. Thanks for looking back!

And as was usual they were not persued by the union. Thus not good union representation as happened with similar claims made when working for an eastern carrier at the same time. Made me think a little about all of the dues paid for “representation”.
