With my work schedule being what it is I am not always able to chase the best of what UP has to offer. As a personal favor to me, the railroad offered to bring it's E9's to my home town and save me the hassle of a flight and the missed time at work. I think maybe there was some convention going on at the same time, perhaps the Republican Convention or something but I'm sure that was a secondary issue. The E's and consist left after a short visit. Also long gone from Philly is the VET Statium replaced by park named after a bank.
