Welcome back, UP 4014.....

[Tishimself]

She's back. She is the stuff of legends, she is the largest, heaviest, most powerful land based machine man has ever built. The men who ran them were giants, amazing, fascinating men. I had the priveledge to meet a couple at a UP convention once upon a time in a different life. It has been a dream of mine to see one run before I die. Now I hope to get that chance. The man who taught the man who taught me to run trains ran these, it's heritage, it's pride, it's a hundred years of traditions passed down from teacher to student. These are my colors, and yes, they run deep.

With the greatest pride and humble respect, welcome back UP 4014, safe travels till we see you again in 2018.....
