An Applied Patch
Title:  An Applied Patch
Description:  The Missouri Pacific Screaming Eagle logo can clearly be seen behind the hastily applied UP logo on the sign for the Settegast Yard diesel shops in Houston, TX.

Odd One Out
Title:  Odd One Out
Description:  At a sign welcoming you to UP's locomotive facility, AMTK 120 sits nose-less among UP locomotives. The locomotive was wrecked in April 2013 in a collision between Amtrak Train #1, the westbound Sunset Limited, and a big-rig in Lissie, TX. At this point in time, the unit was waiting to be sent up to Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops.
