UP E8 931
Title:  UP E8 931
Description:  UP E8 931 on Train Number 7 at Grand Island, Nebraska on an unknown day in April 1961, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The are a lot of presumptions about this photo, since the slide is labeled UP 931 G. I. 4-61. From the handwriting I assumed the author was Dick Rumbolz, I assumed G. I. was Grand Island. If anyone knows better, leave a Comment and I will correct the caption information.

According to the June 1965 edition of the Official Guide, Train Number 7-5 was a Chicago to Los Angeles unnamed daily train, departing Chicago at 7:05 PM as Milwaukee Road Train 19 to Omaha, becoming Number 7 from Omaha to Ogden, then Number 5 to Los Angeles. In addition to the head end business, it also had sleeping cars and unreserved seat coaches and offered Buffet-Lounge service between Green River and Las Vegas.
