Viewing Album:  UP 1982 - MoPac Reborn - National Train Day, Chicago
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:5/7/2011 - 5/7/2011
Album Info:One of the more intriguing displays for National Train Day in Chicago, IL was this Union Pacific Heritage Fleet loco UP 1982. According to one website, UP 1982 was originally an AD70AC unit numbered UP 8379 with serial number 20046610-71. She was delivered in primer gray to Union Pacific on May 2005. From the UP she was sent to Wisconsin & Southern's Horicon Shops in Wisconsin, and renumbered as 1982 in honor of the UP-MoPac merger in 1982. Undercover literally of large tarps and silence to the media she was sent back to UP rails and on to Council Bluffs. It contrast to the lively fanfare of its upcoming unveiling, the unit was moved about hidden, sometimes offering a tantalizing glimpse of a flicker of blue paint underneath After months of speculation and rumor, the Missouri Pacific Heritage Unit was formally unveiled in a special ceremony on July 30, 2005 at Omaha Nebraska, along with the Western Pacific Heritage unit. After much publicity-oriented touring, specials and eventually being released into freight service, UP 1982 has traveled system-wide since 2005. Illinois and the old C&EI region seems to be a frequent stomping ground in her travels. Added to her accomplishments is the fact that she has stopped in Chicago to celebrate National Train Day
