Union Pacific Railroad Heritage highlights the railroad's history, locomotive innovations, and passenger services from 1862 through AMTRAK's 1971 takeover.

Union Pacific Railroad Heritage covers the history of this amazing railroad that was founded in 1862 and completed the United States first transcontinental railroad in 1869.
With the need to develop more powerful steam locomotives to handle the railroad's steep gradients, the Union Pacific Railroad designed the 4-12-2 locomotive, 4-6-6-4 Challenger which influenced development of the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, followed by the 6,600-horsepower Centennial diesel locomotive, and 8,500-horsepower gas turbine electric locomotive.
The Union Pacific Railroad operated well-maintained passenger trains including "City of San Francisco," "City of Los Angeles," "City of Portland," and "City of Denver" until May 1, 1971, when AMTRAK took over United States intercity passenger service.

Keates, Beth Anne: - Beth Anne Keates, a dedicated historian, with the encouragement of her family, has had a lifelong interest in rail transportation and annually marches as Betsy Ross, leading the parade as the Regent of the Lansdowne Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
