Yep, Union Pacific was formed in 1862!!!

Looks like as good an excuse as any to make something special to mark the occasion. Unfortunately, my modeling skills are nonexistent.

Maybe I'll play with the 4-4-0 skins or something and see what I can come up with.

I am tinkering with the Epic History Of Utah scenario at the moment. A victory condition I have in mind (Arms from Ogden to Wendover) gives players a good excuse to build the Lucin Cutoff trestle bridge/causeway, home of the world's longest trestle bridge, which is/was 12 miles long... Things get a little congested around Salt Lake with the Bingham Copper Mine and such in operation...
