The sound of the train helps the cows and pigs sleep.

Union Pacific's "Daylight". America's most beautiful train.

This must be a test to see if we are paying attention.

The tender says Southern Pacific.

@dyoung Why, yes was! Your prize is in the mail!!!

At 6:30 in the morning I am not all that sharp, noon is not much better. LOL

You are right of course but Union Pacific merged with Southern Pacific in 1996. There are actually three engines that survived, two are operational the third is being restored. UP introduced the restored Daylight to employees in August 2006. UP also restored and runs the "Big Boy" steam locomotive.

According to google.... its either a pic of Sophia Lauren, the British Home Secretary or a bright orange dress for sale on Amazon. Apparently the train has nothing to do with this photo.
