UP 6336, stopped, is in Jefferson City, MO on 1-26-2013. I was standing on an uphjll street near the former Missouri Pacific office building. Sorry, folks, there wasn't much I could do about that metal pole in the foreground!
UP 6336, still in Southern Pacific gray and red, has a UP patch on the cab. It's the second unit on an eastbound freight in Jefferson City, MO, on 1-26-2013.
