...With the exception of the more modern locomotives, it looks just like an old UP passenger liner from the Pre-Amtrak "Golden Age" of train travel... This was how the "Jet Set" moved across America - BEFORE the advent of jet aircraft!
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
I THOUGHT I'd seen MOST of BEST,,,BUT this is the ELITE DELIGHT. THANKS GUYS A++
Those are some real clean locomotives!
SMOBY44
They are brand new and just for this special passenger train.
I used to ride the UPRR City of Portland when I was a boy. We would travel from Pocatello (a big UPRR rail yard in the day) to Nampa and back a few times a year. I really loved it. This was the late 60s to early 70s when the passenger service was shut down.
Fantastic video dear Friend love it
That is a rare sight to see
Great catches and cool video
I just saw this vintage UP train or a close variation tonight in Saint Paul, Minnesota parked along the Mississippi River. Can't find any public news about it's route or why it stopped here. Very unusual and exciting to see Union Pacific cars this far north, let alone seeing this many vintage passenger cars!
Happy to see all Union Pacific passenger train. 😀 AMTRAC...boo hiss.
I respect Amtrak and Metrolink, but they need to bring passenger service back; it would sell like crazy.
UP would make a killing and what is the harm in making more cash via rail travel?
Because long distance was never profitable, plus the class ones tried it in the 50s and 60s. It was proven time on and time off it doesn't work.
Excellent video. Thanks for going to all the effort to bring it to us.
infrastructure? those cars are spotless~
THANK YOU
That thing is sharp...great video
I took this train from Green River, WY to Cheyenne. . . we stopped in Rock Springs to pick up the CEO. . . who flew to Rock Springs on the UP jet.
Awesome video
Saw this beautiful thing in El Paso today.
Beautiful job! OMG the flood of memories return, riding the City of Los Angeles in 1959-60 to Omaha to visit family in Iowa. Even then, UP stopped servicing most of Iowa. We disembarked in Omaha drove over the border to Carrol IA. The 4 of us in a family bedroom was so cool, not to mention the Astra Dome dining car. One morning, we were stopped at a RR crossing right at the crossing gate. With vehicles waiting to cross, I pulled the shade up when my mom was changing her clothes. I was only 5 yrs old. I can still hear her shrieking. I also took the Challenger in '66. A rail fan to this day. I think It's time for another 1st class train trip. I'm fortunate as my better half loves the train, as well. Thank You for posting this, Mitcho. Dan - Los Angeles
spectacular engines
I didn’t know it was a passenger train until now
I saw this today in Salt Lake City
Beautiful train who gets to ride
beautiful
Chaosdemonwolf1 you have to ask UP this is what takes these coaches around the USA mostly
"Let's Go" lol !!!
That is a very long Union Pacific passenger train.
Super
Beautiful!!! Why so slow?
cuz there so long it's so heavy and also there's some level crossing so if it crashes at high speed the people in the vehicle hit by the train will die while low speed they could die bit they might live
But not bit
I like the large picture window in the last car,that's a lot of corporate officers they are touring around the place now isn't it?.
How many shares of stock do I have to own in order to get a ticket on the train?
2:52 some intellectual remarks by the onlookers.
Wow butiful
How far did you chase that train
What did you do, chase it through Cajon Pass as far as Victorville??? I can remember being on parts of that road years ago chasing trains like that.
+Kim Millard yes we did you should come join us sometime
To right
Nice trains tracks r missing
Ge locomotive for passenger train,EMD locomotive for cargo train
Okay.......good vid, good old school coaches but what's up with the loco's pulin' em........where were the old school A-4's?
UP doesn't run the A-4's anymore
i heard a rumor EHH was on that train, and when he is through with CSX, UP will be his next victim.
you heard right...U.P. IS his next victim.....and his methods of running a railroad SUCK!!!
@@JAKE3914 UP will rue the day that they enact EHH operating philoshophy.
who was on that train
How did you know this train was coming? Seems like they are pretty tight lipped about anything to do with it thus I was unable to get any video of it in motion....Here's a look at it from a drone if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/NJ48wt9jxbA/видео.html
Two locomotives Ge AC44i
fantastic train! :D.. I to caught this train as it went down south on the UP Midlothian subdivision in Mansfield texas! :D... check out my video
What?!2 Locos to pull 19 coaches but still slow?
It's a special passenger train! What do you expect 60 mph?
Amtrak be like:"....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."
Lol Ikr
To bad the power wasn't 844 or their E units
I do agree though

The federal government is bleeding tax dollars operating Amtrak. I’m certain Union Pacific can handle the passenger rail service for a lot cheaper. The same goes for the USPS. Couriers such as FedEx/UPS can operate a lot more efficiently.
Freight is more profitable than passenger for UP, BNSF and the lot. With shareholder pressure and constant layoffs UP would cut passenger trains in a heartbeat.
Amtrak needs to do better union pasific is bettet
3:27 hey Guido, get outta here
