Also, there's a snow plow (made from a tender), but it's MUCH harder to find. Bonus points if you can!

Odd Sight: Some Big UP Power Hitched to a Couple of BNSF Switchers Near the Havelock Shops

UP hasn't had a presence in Lincoln for several years now, so this was quite a treat! My guess is that BNSF was either leasing these or transporting them for UP.
