UP 3593
Title:  UP 3593
Description:  Each side of Desert Victory was different. I had to convince the UP Special Agents (RR Police) to remove the yellow barricade tape draped around the engine so I could get some clean images. Of course I gave them some copies for their RR museum at the Avondale Yard office.
