Toys for Tots Special at Eureka
With UP 1943 and UP 1979 up front, UP's 2023 Toys for Tots train splits the searchlights at Eureka on the special train's return trip to the Houston Amtrak Station.
For the past several years, the Houston/Gulf Coast Chapter of UPVETS has teamed up to collect money and toy donations for the US Marines Toys for Tots program (this year they raised $100,000 and donated 30,000 toys), and they've also organized a special train to run around Houston for military families. The 2023 special train ran from the Houston Amtrak Station to West Jct in southwest Houston, and back.
The searchlights came down in March 2024.
