My employer (Union Pacific) has gone out of the moving trains over rails busness. How do you move a one million pound locomotive that is sitting on the rails attached to a main line if you dont ship by rail anymore? Or, should I dare ask: "Is the service so crappy on the U.P. that even they resort to trucks?" Anyway, I am sharing this link with everybody. Make sure you take the time to review ALL the pictures. And yes, even Mr. Murphy was preasent.

Is that being restored or just put in a better location?

Apparently just a move to a better location overlooking I-80 in Omaha.

Here is a link to the article about the move, along with a slideshow of more photos (after they got it off the BNSF mainline.
