UP 2406         
UP (MP) train CH pauses in the Monroe yard on its way from Chicago to Houston. At that time, the route from Little Rock through Monroe and Alexandria was used as a alternate route to and from south Texas. In addition to UP C30-7 2406, the train also has yellow MP SD40-2 3298 and blue MP SD40 3063 -- a typical mix of power from that era. I don't know if a forward-facing locomotive was added before the train left!
