UP 6936 "Centennial" Special blasting its way over Kirkwood Hill         
UP 6936 "Centennial" Special blasting its way over the crest of the hill in Kirkwood on a beautiful mid April morning. When I heard on my scanner that this train was only 5 miles distant, and a UP autorack train was also approaching on the adjacent Track #1, I scurried to the top of the overpass to grab an unobstructed shot of this train!!
