Four Union Pacific EMD SD40-2s and a loaded coal train has just eased to a stop in Las Vegas, Nevada where the diesels will be quickly serviced before a fresh crew takes this train westward towards California. – The tall building in the background is the Union Plaza Hotel & Casino, which was built on the site of the original railroad depot. – As of this March 19th, 1986 photo Union Plaza also housed the Amtrak station and ticket counter and was supposedly the only such railroad facility in the United States located inside a casino. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
