Heres some shots of UP 6936 from the yard before departure...note this is after fresh rebuild!..During a Buisnass "Pain Train" inspection special..."Pain Train" meaning that the CEO of UP is riding in the rear car, and any slight "bump" in the bridge rail joints, or whatever other points along the way, would spell sure doom for the poor MTM that managed that section of ROW!!

I suspect that was likely an Engineering special as the VP of Engineering, Bill Wimmer" really liked using the 6936 for power on his inspection trains.
