Quite Unexpected
One of the last places you might expect to see a Southern Pacific caboose is on a Union Pacific local freight in Utah. By the middle of 1986, UP’s Park City Local ran cabooseless. The local’s two GP30s missed their call on June 30th and an SD40-2 was substituted. Since UP 3150 only had seating for three, a caboose became necessary and SP 4463 was the only one available that day. The local is pictured cruising along Echo Reservoir between Echo and Coalville, Utah. Now you know “the rest of the story.”
