If there is interest, I can post my experiences on four separate trips made in Texas using the Union Pacific Heritage Fleet. These were made when the E8s and 3985 Challenger were active during the 1990s. Sorry, no 4014 Big Boy, no FEF 844! The trips were organized by the Gulf Coast Chapter of the NRHS in conjunction with the Union Pacific Heritage team. As a member of the Gulf Coast Chapter I got to help on one trip so not many photos from that one, but for the others I was fortunate to have dome seats on the City of San Francisco (tail end car) and the Harriman (deluxe executive car).
The four trips were, Houston to Smithville on the MKT, Houston to Corpus Christi with overnight in CC, Houston to Hearne via College Station, return via Spring, TX (with 3985) and Houston to Bay City (also with 3985).
Only if there is interest and if any others would like to share their experiences with the UP Heritage trains (these would be most welcome!).
A simple like will be considered a vote in favour!
