Centennial Varnish
Given the news of the day regarding the donation of a large amount of Union Pacific equipment to the new museum complex in Silvis, IL (railfan.com/up-donates-two-steam-locomotives-to-non-profi...), I thought that I'd rehash this image of mine from 2008.
Here, UP's Centennial #6936 is leading a Wimmer Inspection Train eastbound through Topeka, KS on the Kansas Sub. I seem to recall that it had just come off of the Golden State from Herington, but perhaps I'm misremembering this.
Unfortunately, I was photographing with an early, point and shoot digital and deleted the full-sized image, but this at least works well for the Web, and I'm happy to have this memory. This was a NEAT engine to see out on the road, and hopefully, the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America organization will get it out on the high iron again.
