This site page will highlight the several special passenger trains that I have photographed over the years. 

Railroads will assemble their own passenger cars, or cars from private owners, and put together passenger trains for special occasions or to entertain guests or shippers.  All of the Class 1 railroads maintain a collection of vintage passenger cars for these purposes and they are interesting to me to witness.

I have included on this page, trains ranging from short inspection trains, to the large special occasion trains.  The main difference between these trains and the passenger trains on the other site pages are that these trains are not the regular scheduled trains.

Also included are a couple of the test trains that the Union Pacific has hosted to determine their usefulness for possible reguarly schedualed railroad service between Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV.
