UP 6205
Title:  UP 6205
Description:  There were several signs posted, as we entered the erection floor - NO PHOTOGRAPY ALLOWED. Well, you know that becomes a challange for a photo journalist! My Nikon 8008 was around my shoulder, and every time our Guide looked that way, I reached down, angled my camera, and hoped for the best! In 1989, I met a fellow at a trade show in Washington DC. He was Head of Security for General Motors at McCook. When I looked at his business card, I told him, Wow! I am a rail fan! His grasp on my hand grew noticeably stronger, and he said to me, Finally, Ive got my hands on one of you He invited my wife and I to the September, 1989 Open House at McCook. Here we were, on Hallowed Ground! Mecca! The Chosen Land! 30 years earlier, as a teenager, I was riding on GMDs in Northern BC, never even dreaming that some day, I would enter the Temple! Thomas told me later that GM was blown away by the response that they got. Five times the crowd that they had estimated. And now, I wonder, What went wrong?
