UP 1983 and UP 8520 at Fort Bliss
Title:  UP 1983 and UP 8520 at Fort Bliss
Description:  I had a chance to snap a quick photograph of the “Welcome to Texas” and “Welcome to New Mexico” signs during one of my trips from the middle-of-nowhere Fort Bliss to the main cantonment area of the post on 28 Feb. '09. This spot along Hwy. 54 on the TX/NM border is Newman, Otero Co., NM. There just happened to be a long, high-speed container train passing by at the time. Train was headed southwest toward El Paso and had two locomotives, UP 1983 (WP heritage unit) and UP 8520.
