Loco for Choo Choo’s
Posted by admin under: centennial .
I get behind. That’s the only excuse for not posting about the Union Pacific commemorative locomotive. Then I started reading other stuff (I’m still behind. I’ve got 1,200 e-mails to go through at last count). Then I saw Doug’s post over at A Scouter’s Journey and how he had entered a photo into the BSA photo contest which I incorrectly thought was a picture of the locomotive (actually his picture is of a Cub Scout in front of the Vietnam Memorial Wall and looks really good). But my error gives me an excuse to post the informaton from the press release about the train.
Union Pacific Railroad today unveiled the UP No. 2010 Boy Scouts of America Locomotive, created as a tribute to the organization’s centennial celebration. The UP No. 2010 honors Scouting’s 100-year impact on the nation and the many Scouting enthusiasts in Union Pacific’s work force and communities.
…
A very rare honor, Union Pacific has created only 14 commemorative locomotives in its nearly 150-year history. The Boy Scouts-themed locomotive is decorated with a series of four distinct graphics:
The national Boy Scouts of America logo;
The BSA’s 100th Anniversary logo;
The words “100 Years of Scouting,” and,
Ten emblems representing stages of Scouting and an 11th emblem for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree
