I love this picture. A 1953 Buick Super Sedan waiting for UP#618 at the Edwards Lane crossing on a cold February morning in Heber Valley Utah. http://cellar.org/img/Heber2.jpg The Buick Super Sedan is cool but they made 90,625 of those. UP#618 is not as common, but at one time Union Pacific had 1000 of that type engine working. Quote:

http://cellar.org/img/heber4.jpg That picture sparked imitations like this 1949 Chevy pickup. Nice picture but doesn't have the power of the original. After the refurbish old #618 will again roll off into the sunset. http://cellar.org/img/heber5.jpg link link Man, what a rabbit hole this proved to be. I'll do a separate post on some history I found down there. :blush: |
Nice.
