Large Scale Central

UP E9's

My brother in law, not a train fan, took these Monday as they passed near his house here in Spokane Valley. Not a photographer either, so please excuse his car’s antenna in the shots. He sent them to me, knowing I’m a train nut.

That is one nice looking passenger train!!!

The car antennas are forgiven, they make the photos look authentic. Thanks for posting.

Hey John,

Those are great pictures, who cares about the antenna. What I’d like to know is a schedule when these are coming through town so we could actually see it in person.

Chuck,
They were down at the Amtrak station all day yesterday for tours.
I think they are gone now.

Well that sounds just about right John, “A day late and a dollar short”. The story of my life.

For the UP steam program there is a iPhone/iPad “app” to track the steamers. They don’t have one for the E-9’s that I know of. You can get the app from the App Store from Apple. I don’t know if there is a Android or Etc. version as I have the iPhone.
