Run One
On Saturday, September 7, 2019, the SCRM in Perris, California held the second swap meet for 2019. They also had restored UP E8A 942 out for a "Run One" event. This is where you can be the engineer for an hour. Prices vary depending on the equipment requested. This day there were two individuals who requested the E8. It was later used as power for the train rides offered during the day. I was hoping for SFe FP45 #108 to be out, or the recently restored SP SW1 #1006, as I have previous encounters with UP 842 there at the museum. But, it was 842 and it looked and sounded great, just like it has for the past seven or so years. Here we go!
