Thanks for the compliment.  My father also worked for a railroad that was swallowed up by the UP, although he was forced to retire before the merger was finalized.  Worked for the Espee at the former Taylor Yard, just NE of Downtown LA.  The steam engine has been renumbered back to its original number of UP #844.  At the time of the 50th Birthday of the station, there was a diesel engine with that number.

My dad ended up at the Company Headquarters in Omaha and when he retired, by out of course, he was in Washington DC area. I remember going to the Family Days and riding passenger cars. I will have to try and sit in an area where I can get some pictures of Uncle Pete trains as they roll through Vegas.
