I was wondering why all those western employee timetables had special instructions that included impossibly high TOB ratings. Seeing that brake bypass hose, now I know. |

There's a private company looking to do so, with the cooperation of the UP. They've been looking at all the stored ones, but the 4014 in Pomona is supposed to be in the best shape. If it's restored, it would be done for the 150th anniversary of the golden spike in 2019. |
