Feather River Canyon E-9s

The Union Pacific Railroad re-enacted the famous passenger trains of the past as it ran a classic, streamlined Special through the Feather River Canyon in 1994. Headed by UP's sleek A-B-A set of E-9 locomotives, with six dome cars among its 15 matched passenger cars, the Special made its way from Oroville, California, to Portola and back to Keddie Wye. The train is seen at noted locations such as Williams Loop, Chandler Creek Bridge, and Spanish Trestle. A ride in the cab of E-unit #951 adds to the adventure!
