UP's 150th Anniversary

Ken, Many thanks for the heads up. The Union Pacific Railroad is one of my favorite Railroad's. On my layout during the year I run many Union Pacific engine's. From a historial standpoint this Anniversary marks (From 1862 to 1869) the linking of East & West, at a time the United States after four years of war with itself was becoming a truly united nation.

I wonder if there will be any commemorative locomotives for the anniversary.

In June of 2009 I purchased shares of Union Pacific common stock at $52.50 each.
As of December 31, 2011 the price was $105.92 each. Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also as a Union Pacific stockholder one is entitled to a company calendar each year. The 2012 calendar is special because it's the 150 anniversary calendar and it is quite large as well.

Union Pacific is one of the few,and only major,railroads in the U.S. still operating with its original name.

How does one get this calendar? I own a couple shares...but no one ever sent me a calendar.

Edit: Googled my own question. Here's the link if anyone else is a shareholder

Yes, the Union Pacific Railroad is the only U.S. based class one railroad that has been operating with it's original name from day one of it's operation 150 years ago this year.

One way to get a Union Pacific Calendar each year if one is a Union Pacific shareholder is to contact the Union Pacific Store by going to the company's website and ask that your request be forwarded to the person that handles shareholder calendar requests and your name will be placed on the mailing list for future calendar mailings. That's what I did.
