UP's new Olympic color scheme train was in town the other day while runners ran the torch through Albuquerque and Santa Fe. There should be some good pictures coming out on this series of blue locomotives and yellow coaches. The torch car is actually a purple, however. I would welcome any comments on UP's continuing willingness to repaint their engines for special occaisons. Almost turned me into a UP fan.
FYI Overland Models has photos of the 2002 Olympic train posted on their website, except for the blue "Torch" car itself. See the photos here: http://www.overlandmodels.com/whats_new.htm And, lest we forget, here is UP1996 from the 1996 Torch Train eNjoy Don B [ 17 January 2002: Message edited by: dbn160 ]
