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. The UP logo here was quickly pasted on after the UP-MP merger back in the 1980's, but has been left since with the MP logo showing. |

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. |

Unlikely Pairing |
| Description: |
Would you have expected to see a P42 lashed up with an MP15 and two GP38-2's? And yet that's what we see here at UP's Settegast Yard locomotive facilities. AMTK 120 had been towed back to Settegast after a wreck in Lissie, TX while leading the Sunset Limited back in April 2013. When this photo was taken, the unit was waiting to be taken up towards Amtrak's Beech Grove, IN shops by UP. |
