Katy Heritage SD70ACe 1988 was the UP’s display engine for the 2007 Fort Worth Family Day event.  The Missouri Pacific unit would have been more appropriate here at theis ex-T&P, ex-MP facility, but moving trains is the first priority and the Katy unit was already in the immediate area.

Here one of the younger generation is enjoying her view of the world from the conductor’s chair.

I sat on the left side of the cab myself a few minutes later, and took this shot of a yard job passing the bowl tower.

Back at the UP Railroad Police tent, Brian Daniels was swearing in two new recruits after pinning on their Junior Special Agent badges.

A large display of garden scale trains was also of interest to the children.

Now I saw the event passenger train returning from its first run.
