Nos. 1896 and 1996 - Atlanta Olympic Torch Relay Locomotives

In 1996, Union Pacific rebuilt and repainted two SD-40-2 locomotives for the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta.  From April 30 to June 3, the 19-car Olympic Torch Relay train featured a specially designed "cauldron car" that transported the Olympic flame across much of the western United States.
