Eddie K and preserved Union Pacific 2-8-0 # 533. Rawlins Wyoming USA. June 1984.

Here is an old photo of Me that was taken during a June 1984 vacation to Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming. This photo was taken during the return leg of our Motorbus tour enroute back to Chicago. What could be better than spending the night in a tiny little one horse town like Rawlins Wyoming, and have a preserved early 1900's era Union Pacific Railroad, Harriman era 2-8-0 steam locomotive on display at a city park a few blocks from the motel. Here I am , a 22 year old future host and photographer of Eddie's Railfan Page, standing next to this classic if not somewhat rusty steam era icon.
