General Notes:

1. UPP 2066 was built in 1960 as Postal Storage 5816; renumbered to UP 903677 Roadway Tool Car in 1972; to Power Car UPP 2066 in 2004
2. This is new power car has roughly twice the power capability of our existing power cars. It should be able to handle a 17 or 18-car passenger train by itself. Currently when we run very large passenger specials, we have to use two power cars, one on the head-end and another mid-train. We'll be able to keep this one on the head-end of the train and out of the way of the guests. It was built from a former baggage car. The heightened roof houses locomotive cooling fans to dissipate the enormous amount of heat generated. The car is 16' 1" high, slightly higher than a dome car. It should be ready for service later this year. (John Bromley, Trainorders.com, May 3, 2004)
