Spirit of the Union Pacific
A full side view of the very well put together Spirit of the Union Pacific, as it works up hill with a long intermodal train near the Cabazon Crossovers as the sun dips lower and lower on the horizon in the Colorado Desert. This was one of the more impromptu photos I've this was only really achievable with a slow Westbound like this one and a very empty frontage road along Interstate-10.
Full details of the different paint sections: Front is symbolic of Air Force Silver, and the blue stripe is a reflection of the former Strategic Air Command’s “nose sash.” The lettering inside the sash is the original hand-drawn font used on the B-17. It is followed by the Coast Guard’s “Racing Stripe” and the Navy’s Battleship Gray, which frames Union Pacific’s traditional American flag. The military camouflage is a nod to the Army and Marines. The final message on the tail is dedicated to U.S. prisoners of war and those missing in action, featuring the POW/MIA symbol and its motto, You Are Not Forgotten. (which is kind of hard too see).
